I’m sorry if this is already known. But I was on glow 100x a day when I was pregnant, and googling everything I could think of. And I did NOT know that dreft was not safe. I copied this text from a post I saw on Facebook and figured this may be information one of you may want to know:

By Sara Hardee Weaver:

📢 Gentle PSA to all my pregnant and new mamas:

Dreft scores an ‘F’ on the EWG Guide to Clean Living. ‘F’ as in the lowest score you could get in school (A to F). And, it’s based on a few reasons (see pics).

Not convinced? Just hop over to Google and type “Dreft EWG” and click the first link. You’ll be directed to the EWG’s (Environmental Working Group) website where you can explore why it receives such a poor rating. (Hint: you can also check the one you're currently using this way.)

Yes, a laundry detergent made specifically for babies scores an F on human safety. 🤦‍♀️😭

How can this be?! Because the FDA doesn’t regulate or inspect personal care products (or their ingredients) for safety in America i.e. they have no authority to pull them either if there are adverse reactions. 🗣A $65 billion industry with no regulation.🥴

The Food, Drug & Cosmetic Act of 1938 hasn’t been largely updated, since 1938. And, there have been 85,000 chemicals introduced since WWII.🤬 And fragrance? It’s a trade secret and the worst offender. Don’t take my word for it: Be your own advocate!

Good news: There are literally hundreds of other non-toxic, clean, safer (however you want to call it), & affordable laundry detergents to choose from that are just as good at getting out the poop and puke, but without the short term (aka rash) and long-term side effects AND they get an 'A' score or are even EWG-verified (the best!). Updated to add: my faves are Molly's Suds, Seventh Generation, Greenshield Organics, & Attitude.

It’s really that easy. I wish someone had told me when I was pregnant with my first, so now I’m passing along to you. May the odds be ever in your favor and I hope you get 6 hours of uninterrupted sleep tonight.❤️
