Many expecting women are not aware of the unintentional chemical exposure they encounter on a daily basis by just applying topical skin care products. Pretty Mommies Skin Care discusses why they are committed to eliminating personal care product safety concerns by offering safe, chemical free, maternity skin care.
In a recent Medical News Today article titled Pregnant Women Should Be Aware of Unintentional Chemical Exposure, writer Kelly Fitzgerald states, Exposure to substantial amounts of environmental chemicals has been associated with negative health effects in women and children. The same threat may be true for personal care products such as sunscreens, shower gels and moisturizers.

It is the main reason why many consumers are opting for more natural ingredients. It is never more important however, than when a woman is expecting. The dangers posed to the unborn child are too great to not pay close attention to and make informed choices about the personal care products they are using.
