Bisphenol A, or BPA, is one of the most commonly used synthetic chemicals, but has been plagued by controversy because it mimics estrogen when absorbed into the body. Any substance that mimics estrogen (or xenoestrogen) is capable of inducing hormal responses.  Trace amonts of this chemical can be leached from baby bottles, water bottles, and bottles that contain skin care products.

If a baby is exposed to a xenoestrogen, it could cause adverse effects to the developing reproductive system. For this reason, other xenoestrogens such as phthalates, paraben preservatives and chemical sunscreens, should never be applied directly to a baby's skin.

Better Safe than Sorry. Check your bottles, at the bottom you will find a triangle with a number inside it. Any bottle with the number 3, 6 or 7 has the potential to release the chemical.

At Belli, we've known about this potential danger for years. You will only find the number "1" at the bottom of every Belli Product. Additionally, the entire Belli Baby Collection is free of all xenoestrogens (not just phthalates!)
