We love to shop local, and do so at any chance that we can. Not only does shopping local help support our community, it helps local families support themselves which is what Macaroni Kid is about. We are ecstatic to share with you a Mom and Grandma owned business blooming out of North Port, FL; Berry Blossom Kids. At first glance you will see that this company offers super cute bath & body products and accessories for both kids and adults, but what makes this company extra special is that they sell non-toxic chemical free body and skin care. Why does this matter you ask? Well, our skin in our biggest organ and what we put ON our skin gets INTO our system, we absorb anything and everything we touch which puts us to a lot of exposure to chemicals day to day. It is import to limit that exposure by choosing products that have as little toxins and chemicals as possible, especially for our growing children. Only 11 chemicals have ever been regulated by the FDA for use in cosmetics. And no safety tests are required before beauty products hit store shelves. Common chemicals found in our bath, body and makeup products are; Phthalates, Lead, Quaternium-15 and Other Formaldehyde-Releasing Preservatives, Butylated Compounds and Parabens to name a few. These toxins and chemicals have been linked to reproductive, neurological and developmental damage. To learn more about the toxins in your bath and body products, please visit this article.
So now that we know more of why we should choose non-toxic, natural and chemical free products for our children and ourselves, what type of products can we buy?
Berry Blossom Kids offer an array of fun and safe products, from Piggy Paint Nail Polish, shimmery-glittery sunscreen and bug spray, sunglasses and more! Ready to shop? You can visit their Facebook Page and request to join their exclusive Berry Blossom Shopping Group!
