Because babies have thinner skin, more delicate airways and digestion. It all means greater rates of chemical absorption compared to adults.
Adults are able to process contaminants through both excretion and storage. Unfortunately, children’s bodies don’t yet have this luxury, which means toxins have ample opportunity to interfere with their rapidly developing organ systems. Fetuses are even less prepared, and are unable to detoxify at all. It’s not until about 6 months old that babies fully develop some of their most important defenses: kidneys, the blood-brain barrier, and other organs for detoxification.
Children require a lot of oxygen - they breathe 50% more air per pound of body weight than adults! Add to that their naturally faster metabolism, and the result is a quicker rate of potential contaminant absorption.
It’s easy to see the recent backlash against highly processed, unnatural baby products which off-gas chemicals and cause havoc with healthy development. It’s virtually impossible to evade the hundreds of chemicals we come into daily contact with. Which makes it important to make an informed choice over the exposure we can control. This is why we believe in being as natural as possible. 🤗 🌱 👶🏼
