Safer Product Advice in Your Pocket (New and Updated!)

Janelle Sorensen

Sunday, July 25, 2010

Like most people, when I first learned about toxic chemicals in everyday products I just wanted someone to tell me what was safe to buy. Back then, there was this great book called “The Safe Shopper’s Bible” and I carried it with me almost everywhere. I still have the book, but it’s really outdated – and, it’s a big book. It’s not exactly convenient to lug around or refer to in the middle of a store aisle.

Luckily, today there are easier tools – like Healthy Child Healthy World’s Pocket Guides. They’re tiny enough to fit in your wallet, so you’ll never be caught without them. And, they’re packed with useful information – from general tips for being a safer shopper to specific product recommendations. Right now, there are pocket guides to plastics, formula, baby food, sunscreens, teethers and pacifiers, personal care products, school lunches, bug repellent and more.

Some we’ve had for a while and we just updated. Some are entirely new. Hopefully all of them will have mobile versions very soon, too!
