To be absolutely disgusted that Cheeky Wipes are selling essential oils to use on baby wipes!

[userpmfrdh]

How is this allowed?!

@slashlover

My problem is with the oils/ instructions not with the company as a whole.

Again OP, can you link to any newspaper articles/blogs/posts/anything where a child has been burned by these oils?

Essential oil burns. That's adult skin. Imagine a newborns bum.

How many babies have been injured by these wipes? A previous poster said they'd been around for 10 years, if a lot of babies have been injured in that time, they should take them off the market.

I appear to have wandered in to a parallel universe.

People need to stop using such ridiculous language if they want to be taken seriously. You're 'disgusted'.. really?? 'Concerned' would do. Everyone is either disgusted or fuming these days. I'm embarrassed for you.

We shall never know.

One of several links on google saying that lavender oil can be used directly in skin.

Why will you never know? Isn't there some sort of government body people can complain to about these things?

That is a woman slathering her skin in oils OP which is NOT THE SAME as a few drops in half a litre of water

Because there's no reports on such. Even if there was, manually squeezing a wipe is a variable.

Years ago when my on was very young he kept getting bunged up so my mum's fried who is a qualified herbalists made me a blend suitable for a feeling child and she made sure I understood that I needed a carrier . She recommended milk . I'd be very wary about using them on a baby, and if you have a dog or cat some essential oils are toxic.

Essential oils have gotten quite mainstream recently and they are taking advantage of that. You're right op it isn't safe.

Just as you care for my blood pressure I care about babies and I hate to think of any suffering chemical burns when the use is totally unnecessary.

You keep saying this but they’ve been around for years and I can’t find a single report of a baby getting a chemical burn from them. This is a complete none issue

She infused her water with citrus oils said to detoxify and lathered her skin with stress-relieving lavender.

Did you read it?

But if there were significant numbers of injuries, why wouldn't there be reports? That was my question.

I suppose realistically we should assume that if they’d received complaints about it causing burns on their baby, they’d have taken the product off their website.

Why on earth do you need all this stuff to clean your baby. People seem to buy into anything these days. Best go and ask a Granny about baby bum cleaning, !

I put undiluted lavender oil on burns. Works a treat.

I get worked up over a lot of things. This doesn’t even register as a minor twitch.

Those wipes are a brilliant product that we’ve used for years now.

No reports? On products that harm babies?

I think you're being silly now.

It’s the idea that the water doesn’t help... I mean obviously oil and water don’t mix initially but if you swish or shake it about it dilutes the oil loads and that’s obviously the case here.

Ah I forgot about pets too! A carrier oil is a definite must.

Pretty sure if my kid was adversely effected by some wipes i would make sure people knew about it! I would be on their SM hounding the life out of them warning people not to buy the product!

Different product used in a different way. OP. can you link anything where the Cheeky Wipes essential oils have harmed a baby? I have googled and can't find anything.

What a drama over not much at all!!!

How many reports on this?
