Ethical Sensitivity For Baby Products

Becoming a parent can profoundly change you. It can be an eye-opening experience because you start to become more vigilant about anything can potentially harm your baby.  Not surprisingly, baby products category comes with a lot of sensitivity. Manufacturers, sellers, and buyers are all responsible for the well-being of the little, innocent members of our society.

We believe that responsible sellers should avoid brands that take advantage of lax regulations when it comes to this sensitive category. Instead, we must turn to organic baby products, who will not harm our precious little ones in any way.

Natural baby care products do not contain harmful chemicals. These chemicals are linked to various diseases hormonal imbalances, asthma, and skin problems. Such chemicals include paraben, phthalates, synthetic fragrances, propylene glycol, and more.

On the other hand, organic baby food keeps pesticides out of our babies` systems while it supports sustainable farming practices.

Baby Products Industry Market

The baby care products industry market is likely to continue its exponential increase globally in the next years. In the United States, pediatric skin care stands out as a sub-category for its overall sales. Pediatric skin care is a $1.7 billion industry. A study indicates that “premoistened cleansing wipes and cloths were the most frequently used product, followed by baby oil and lotion and body and baby powder. Baby bath and shampoo products were used at least five times per week per household, and caregivers generally preferred products that were fragrance-free and made for sensitive skin.”

Based on these trends and studies, we conclude that organic baby skin care products category is an ideal drop shipping category for your home business.
