This product works really well for stains on our light colored quartz sink. I like the powder form. It's similar to Comet. It does not have a strong smell. It doesn't list ingredients. The label says, CAUTION: Contains oxalic acid. Do not ingest, inhale, or get in eyes. Keep away from children. Harmful if swallowed. I hope this helps.

It shouldn't be used at all. It is the absolute worst for diapers. There are no actual cleaning agents in this. It is quite literally a very expensive bag of useless powder.

I would be very careful of that. If you use it, use only under close supervision. There is also a label that says "not flame retardant". Make your own choice with that information. It is quite large and length & width are as large or larger than a newborn. I would check into baby products first.

Hi Joanne, I also have a 2 year old and used it on her. I just made sure that I didn't put it on her hands that she puts in her mouth. I also used it on my 3 month old's legs. :)

I don't know. What I do know is that it does not dry my skin as other powders do making the problem even worse. Instead of drying the skin it feels as if actually lubricating and soothing. As a doctor...it is the best I've tried. It stops the diaper rash and associated infections on its tracks.

I'm not sure what chemicals were or weren't used in the production process, but they definitely have no residue/powder/smell/etc. I use these instead of wet wipes for our baby and they're pretty much perfect.

i emailed them because i was also curious - quick response from their team "Thanks for being interested in our products. L.A. Baby is committed to providing a safe and comfortable sleeping environment for everyone's little ones! In order to provide a non toxic and more chemical free fire barrier, as a fire barrier is required by law, we use the mineral compound boric acid. This compound is bonded to cotton in the comfort layers below the outer cover of the mattress, which in addition to having been proven safe over many centuries of use, is also an essential nutrient. Babies obtain this essential nutrient, and in the case of a nursing infant, from mom's diet of citrus intake of various fruits and juices. Because of the way our mattresses are made and the outer covering is constructed, they do not allow the release of boric acid into the air in a manner that anybody sleeping on it could absorb it though their lungs or skin."

I haven't used the baby kind, but I wouldn't use this under makeup. It leaves a sunscreen film on the skin, since it's a mineral sunscreen, and is a little greasy. That being said it's my favorite sunscreen for my son. But not for me.

I think it was baby powder. I gave it as a gift but I don't remember it being overpowering.

My call on this is yes, it would be good for baby clothes. The detergent has no parabens, glycol solvents, chlorine, formaldehyde, or artificial colors. It does have plant-derived ingredients, natural essential oils, stain-fighting enzymes (taken from back label). If you want more information about their ingredients, they say to visit mrsmeyers.com/ingredients-glossary. The ingredient list is quite impressive. I like that these herbs and essential oils are next to my skin instead of chemicals. Also, I'm sensitive to most soaps (dry skin, itching, rash), but this one has never caused me any problems and I've washed all manner of materials in it. Hope this helps.

Yes. The reason is that mainstream detergents have softeners brighteners, and dyes. The softeners coat te diapers and inserts making them "water proof" and they will not abdorb. The brighteners stick the diapers and cause skin irritation as well as the dyes. Stick with cloth diaper friendly detergent!

Yes, the product seems tough enough to withstand all sorts of baby matter, if you will, and seems not to discolour even with a Lysol wipe. I use Lysol, then wipe it off with a wet washcloth or a baby wipe. Also, for more frequent clean ups, I use a disinfecting hand sanitizing wipe (Clean Well) that is labeled "kid safe formula". Hope this helps.

From what I read, the substance is perfectly safe for children. Generally, if it is safe for pets, then it is safe for kids. I would, however, keep it out of their reach because it is an appliance.

No chemicals or flame retardants according to the label. Just Alpaca wool. Very light weight. Possibly too large for an infant. Might get tangled up in a crib. I love mine. Just right for this prolonged cold or hot spring.

I found the powder is best for exterior uses, and the liquid is best for interior uses. The powdered version will leave residue on interior walls and hard surface floors. The liquid does not.

I'm not sure about the ingredients. We did exactly that with it but we were outdoors and the exposure was limited to one time only. We had a lot of fun but I'm not sure about safety concerns long term. We had no issues.

I haven't used yet and don't have a toddler. According to this website, CDC doesn't recommend using on toddlers under 3 yrs old. http://www.ewg.org/research/ewgs-guide-bug-repellents/kids.
