California BabyŽ makes hand washing safe and fun! Researchers warn that aggressive germicides and antibiotics can act as endocrine disrupters and exposure to them may lead to early puberty, reproductive issues and breast cancer. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends cleaning hands often because it's our first line of defense in keeping from getting sick, and at California BabyŽ we believe a natural cleanser and an little elbow grease is all you need for your daily hand cleansing needs. Our motto: Soap + Vigorous Hand Rubbing for 20 Seconds = Destroyed Microbes! California BabyŽ uses only pure essential oils (no synthetic "natural" fragrances) to scent our products and this blend contains extracts of lemon, tea tree and ravensara. California BabyŽ vegetable cleansers are non-stripping, moisturizing and extremely biodegradable, making frequent hand washing a non-drying and effortless affair. As always, California BabyŽ packaging is bright, fun and sophisticated and is at home in the chicest of bathrooms!
