Skin is the largest human organ and it only takes 26 seconds to absorb a chemical. It makes sense that we all need to take extra care of our skin to avoid damage, and this is especially true for the delicate sensitive sheath covering our precious babies.
Parents do their best to avoid harsh chemicals that are bad for our little ones. But what does “bad” really mean?
The outer skin layer, otherwise known as the epidermis, provides the following benefits:
Brand New Skin & Sensitivity
Some adult skin is hypersensitive to irritating additives and ingredients found in an array of products, which can result in itching, hives, swelling, burning, blistering, and various other types of allergic reactions. A baby’s skin is far more fragile and susceptible. In fact, newborn skin is 40 to 60% thinner than adult skin. Research shows that 60 to 70% of what goes on a baby’s skin gets absorbed into his or her bloodstream.
Chemicals In Non-Natural Diapers
Extensive research, and perhaps an advanced medical degree, is necessary to understand just how many harmful chemicals can be found in non-natural diapers. Some well-known brands use diaper padding, for example, which turns liquid into gel-like crystals that can cause skin irritation or worse. But the biggest issue is how some of these diapers are made and what’s in them.

Reactions to Chemicals in Diapers
When urine combines with chemicals found in some non-natural brands, the side effects can be severe. Aside from diaper rash, non-hypoallergenic diapers can even cause chemical burns. For example, as a result of using generic and inexpensive diapers on their seven-week-old daughter, parents had to rush her to a hospital in Bristol, England after she experiencedsevere chemical burns. Then there is the case of a couple in Bay Roberts, Newfoundland Canada, who purchased a well-knowndiaper brand only to have their 2 year-old daughter admitted into the hospital to treat open skin wounds caused by chemicals. The child remained in the hospital for 3 days for treatment and the box of diapers that was shipped back to the manufacturer reportedly smelled of bleach.
