Over-the-counter (OTC) skin care products are a potential source of environmental chemical exposure to newborns. A prospective study was undertaken to define existing newborn bathing practices and quantitate environmental chemical exposure from OTC skin care products. One hundred-ninety six mothers of infants discharged from our newborn nursery were asked to respond to a questionnaire concerning newborn bathing practices and OTC skin care product usage. Complete questionnaires were returned by 23% of the mothers. The average newborn had 8 \u00b1 3 (\u00b1 SEM) skin care products applied with the resultant exposure to 48 \u00b1 18 different environmental chemicals. Forty-seven percent of our respondents used a baby powder. The average one month old was bathed 4 times a week and was shampooed 3 times weekly. Seventy-eight percent of the respondents reported that their newborn had a rash but only 45% of those reporting a rash sought professional medical advice. Thirty-seven percent of the mothers reporting a rash made a change in bathing practice or product selection. In view of our findings, the human newborn is exposed to a large number of environmental chemicals thorough topical OTC preparations. The efficacy, transcutaneous absorption and potential toxicity of these products should be investigated.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/000992289103000504","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,11,26]],"date-time":"2007-11-26T17:50:16Z","timestamp":1196099416000},"page":"286-289","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":40,"title":["Newborn Chemical Exposure from Over-the-Counter Skin Care Products"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"30","author":[{"given":"Frank","family":"Cetta","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Loyola University Medical Center, 2160 South First Avenue, Maywood, IL, 60153, 708-216-6314"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"George H.","family":"Lambert","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Internal Medicine and Pediatrics, Loyola University Medical Center, Maywood, IL 60153"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Simon P.","family":"Ros","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Internal Medicine and Pediatrics, Loyola University Medical Center, Maywood, IL 60153"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1991,5,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"atypb1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0095-5108(18)30740-1"},{"key":"atypb2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5694\/j.1326-5377.1971.tb50567.x"},{"key":"atypb3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-3476(69)80406-3"},{"key":"atypb4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-3476(69)80407-5"},{"key":"atypb5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-3476(83)80669-6"},{"key":"atypb6","volume-title":"Nelson Textbook of Pediatrics","author":"Behrman RE","year":"1987","edition":"13"},{"key":"atypb7","volume-title":"Neonatology.
