So disappointed to go through our shampoos, body washes, lotions and hair products and discover so much soy! Since our little one is anaphylactic to soy and we want to be able to snuggle him without restriction, we are eliminating soy containing personal care items from our home. Yesterday, I found a number of personal care items (mostly in hair products but also in a few lotions) here with soy protein in them in addition to other soy ingredients. Soy protein is the biggest concern (although we are getting rid of all) because the protein is the most potent part of the allergen. As for our little fellow, we'll be switching him to California baby shampoo and conditioner (soy free) today. We already love their sunscreen and it has the added bonus of being readily available at Target.
