I could not feel my heartbeat… My toes were cold and my mouth was dry… I felt a chill down my spine as I looked at my only child’s skin peel off in front of me…
Hi…I am Ghazal…
I am a Mother, a wife, a daughter..for me, this designation holds the most powerful decisions for many lives that depend on me.
When I was a child I admired my mother..just like every child…she was my protection..soon became my best friend..also my fashion guru..hahaha..(according to her I always looked amazing).…and now my counselor…
But never did I realize the feeling of being a protection – best friend- and counselor to my child…
But yeah..here I am a Mother to my small bundle of love…His name is Agastya..(Augy By love)
Augy is a naughty & loving kid..
The decisions that I make as a mother is on behalf of my child..I love him with all my heart…and would run the world for him…
But..as
A mother am I allowed to fail???
Am I allowed to make mistakes ??
Did My mother make mistakes with me??
What do you think…Well,
BUT….I Did..
I made a Wrong decision. I made a mistake….for which my child faced the consequences… By Now you may be wondering… why did I go cold feet…why did my mouth go dry…
Well this all happened when I made that mistake and that decision.. I decided to use a Baby Product with chemicals..toxins.. not that I knew of any.. but since everyone used them.. I too did…Also according to me that was the best baby product….
So everyone was using it… what went wrong..?? ..I was using the best baby product but what so horrible happened? In fact, it was one of the best brands in India for babies…one that many mothers trust even today…
You see not all babies can tolerate chemicals and toxic products…I am not saying it doesn’t affect your baby…
But, eventually things do happen….

Augy & I used to have a ball when my husband Varun..was at work..yeah I know with all the housework and pending chores..I did manage to have the best time with my baby…
So like every day we started the best part of the day when I used to massage Augy & sing to him and he would giggle and play around..nothing is better than a happy mood baby..
After 5- 6min I saw that sight which made all my possible movement stop… A sight that I wish no mother should get to see EVER.
All possible thoughts ran through my head while I stood there.. .
What Have I done to my child??
What is actually happening ..??
Did I rub his skin too hard??
Oh god…that feeling…I still till day live with that feeling…that Guilt…i guess i have to live with it for a quite a long time.
we took augy to the paed, he was crying with pain or irritation… HE kept scratching himself which made the skin even worse. Until the doctor gave him an injection to ease his pain and irritation, it was a nightmare for us.
it took nearly a week for him to be completely alright. The guilt that i had done this to my baby, still stays with me and hurts me a lot. I wish this never happens to any baby ever.
I still was in shock not able to understand the whole situation… it was hard for me to even stand on my feet…thanks to Varun he was nothing but supportive of all this…
Finally, the doctor told us that the Massage Oil that I used is filled with chemicals like…. Lead..Petrochemicals..PARABEN, artificial fragrances, mineral oils.
Which reacted to my Augy and which lead to making his sensitive skin peel.. .The harmful chemicals in the product that i used.
I was angry…sorry…sacred … all at the same time… What did just happen.??
After that, I became a researcher and scientists..
Day and night as and when I got time I researched about the chemicals and thousands of cases with baby products and mother care products having chemical and intoxicating ingredients in them… I was left with amazement.
Did you know 68% of mothers around the world complain about the product used on their baby… My God…
I discovered two chemicals that have been linked to cancer, formaldehyde and 1,4 dioxane, in dozens of leading baby shampoos and bath products.I was shocked.
You should also check your baby’s products that you use on them now-
Check the labels for-
1.Lead
2.Paraben
3.mineral oils
4.petrochemicals
5.formaldehyde
These above are the harmful chemical that you should look out for..
It shouldn’t have to work this way. Companies should be using the safest possible ingredients in the first place, and the government should be holding them accountable to that.
Why doesn’t anyone talk about all this…why hasn’t anyone taken any action on this….
One day I spoke to Varun…we were struggling to get Natural and organic products to use for Augy….they were all coming from outside India…I was still scared to use anything…

I Told Varun that if nobody but we should take care of not just our children…but all the babies all around the world deserve the best…
In fact, they only need nothing but the best…
So MamaEarth Was born….the only reason it is born is not for any sales..or some entrepreneur work…
But Only for your and my child… Protecting them from all chemical and toxicity products of the world… Coming back to my Mistake…
Yes a Mother can make mistakes..& yes you are allowed to make mistakes.. ..But a mistake is called a mistake when you don’t have a clue about what you doing… But Now that you know the level of chemical and harmful toxins in your baby product you know what is the right decision…
I would never want any mother around the world to make the same mistake like I did…Our babies don’t deserve it..they only need the best…
Say no to Chemical Product and Go 100% Natural and organic.
