In this post we have outlined a few products such as nail polish, tanning lotions and hair dye that may contain some of the nasty ingredients we talked about. We recommend to always check the ingredients label of the products you use if you are pregnant or breast feeding just to make sure there are no nasties in there that could be potentially harmful for your baby.
