“I would get so many baby gifts,” she said. “And a lot of it was skin care products for my kids. I would use the things that people sent me just assuming these are baby products and that they should be safe. Some of them had a lot of toxic chemicals, so I just started researching myself.”

“The fact that we have to guess so much, even going into a store to buy anything…you shouldn’t walk around aimlessly wondering, ‘Is this okay? Is not that okay?’ Everybody should have the right to healthy products in personal care,” she added.
