Baby + Kids

Dress little ones in outfits that feel good from the fabric up. Baby and kids' clothes can be treated with PFAS for water- and stain-resistant finishes, flame retardants, dyes, and even bisphenols that act as endocrine-disrupting chemicals in textiles. These ingredients sit right against more delicate skin and can be absorbed more easily when kids are warm, sweaty, or bundled up in snug layers all day. Children with eczema, allergies, or other sensitivities may be especially vulnerable to what's built into their everyday fits. Keep their closets working in their favor with these kid-friendly basics from the Million Marker Product Guide!

Turn those everyday post-bath moments into a quick win for healthier skin. Baby body oils, butters, and lotions often rely on synthetic fragrances, parabens, mineral oils, and certain preservatives to feel silky, smell "baby fresh," and last on the shelf. When you use them day after day, they sit on the little one's skin for hours. Long-term exposure can lead to increased dryness, irritation, or unnecessary chemical exposure. Reaching for cleaner baby body oils, butters, and lotions from the Million Marker Product Guide is an easy swap that keeps those routines fresh!

Feeding is at the center of a baby's routine, and the products you use there matter. Bottles and nipples are often made from plastics and silicone with added materials to make them clear, soft, or durable. They're constantly exposed to hot milk or formula, washing, and sterilizing. Over time, that cycle of heat and cleaning can wear them down, which can shed microplastics and other harmful chemicals. Plus, certain dish detergents add synthetic fragrances, dyes, and harsh surfactants that may leave residues on surfaces that look spotless. Choosing safer bottles, nipples, and dish detergents from the Million Marker Product Guide helps you focus on feeding your baby nutrients instead of toxics.

The diaper routine might be messy, but what's in those products doesn't have to be. Diapers, wipes, and diaper rash creams can contain endocrine-disrupting chemicals like phthalates, bisphenols, certain preservatives, synthetic fragrances, and petroleum-based ingredients. These products sit on warm, damp, and sometimes irritated skin for long stretches, which can make it easier for those ingredients to get into the body. Wipes can add another layer of exposure when harsh surfactants and fragrance blends stay on the skin between changes. Make each diaper change gentler and lower in unwanted chemicals with these baby-safe diaper staples from the Million Marker Product Guide. Finding diapers without any plastic coating is very challenging right now, since those materials help with absorbency, leak protection, and keeping diapers light and comfortable on a baby. It's completely understandable if the options rated GO or SLOW don't fit your family's needs, schedule, or your baby's skin. You can still lower exposures in other ways, like choosing safer wipes, creams, and other baby products, and considering cloth diapers if that feels realistic for you. You can explore cloth diapers through a local diaper service or by washing them at home, sometimes with a quick rinse in the toilet before they go in the washing machine. In the end, what matters most is choosing what works for your budget and daily life, while still trying to keep your baby's exposures as low as reasonably possible whenever you can.

Bathtime can be one of the coziest parts of the day, and what you use on skin and hair really matters in those moments. Baby soap, bodywash, shampoo, and conditioner often contain ingredients like synthetic fragrances, sulfates, parabens, and preservatives that help products foam, smell nice, and last longer on the shelf. These additives can cling to skin and scalp, especially when used with warm water and over many baths, and may contribute to dryness, irritation, or unwanted chemical exposure. Choosing GO and SLOW products for babies on the Million Maker Product Guide helps keep those daily baths focused on bonding and comfort, while keeping hormone-disrputing chemicals out of the tub.

Keep the sunshine, skip the sketchy stuff. Baby sunscreens can contain endocrine-disrupting chemicals from certain chemical UV filters, synthetic fragrances, and preservatives that weren't designed with tiny, developing bodies in mind. These ingredients sit on delicate skin for hours and can be absorbed more easily because baby skin is thinner and often warm, sweaty, or a little chafed. Even some mineral formulas can sneak in added fragrance, harsh preservatives, or nanoparticles that may boost absorption. Make every park day and pool day feel better protected with the Million Marker Product Guide!

Little ones spend a lot of time with pacifiers and teethers close by. Many of these products are made from plastics, silicone, or rubber that can contain endocrine-disrupting chemicals like bisphenols, phthalates, and other additives that help keep them soft or flexible. With frequent, everyday use, those ingredients can be swallowed or absorbed through delicate mouth tissues, especially as products age and show wear. Babies who rely on pacifiers for settling or teethers for relief may be more affected by what these items are made of. Support soothing moments with baby-safe pacifiers and teethers from the Million Marker Product Guide.

Pregnancy and postpartum care can turn everyday products into something that feels much more personal and high stakes. During this time, skin, breasts, and intimate areas often see more creams, balms, sprays, and washes than usual, just when your body may also be more sensitive. Many pregnancy and postpartum products still rely on synthetic fragrances, preservatives, and other additives that can sit on the skin for hours or be used near especially absorbent tissue. Enter postpartum with confidence by referencing the Million Marker Product Guide!

Children are especially vulnerable to harmful chemicals because their bodies are still growing and developing. Plus, little ones often put toys in their mouths, sleep with them, and handle them throughout the day. Many commercial toys are made with materials containing BPA, phthalates, and flame retardants, all of which have been linked to hormone disruption and developmental issues. Keep playtime safe and joyful with Million Marker Approved Toys!
