Children are a source of happiness, but also a lot of problems for their parents. And modern chemistry can be both good and evil. The story of Wendy Price and her daughters, Jamie and Morgan, is an example.
Wendy and her daughters. The eldest is 4 years old, the youngest is 3 — the most naughty age.
Everything happened as usual, mom spun, and the kids got a cream against diaper rash Desitin. For a reason — they wanted to become like Elsa from the «Cold Heart», in other words, to get smeared in white. I managed to say something.
That’s what Wendy saw.
And here she made a huge mistake, which she admitted. Wendy acted automatically — if the child got dirty, you need to put it in the bath and wet it. That’s just she didn’t take into account that there was a substance zinc oxide in the cream, which is absolutely not wetted with water. As a result, it became even worse — the hair acquired a stable dirty-white color.
After 3 hours of continuous washing, Wendy’s hands dropped. Shave off your hair, bald, it will grow back later anyway. It doesn’t hurt and it’s not scary, right? But before deciding, she wrote in the public of New York moms – still, the cream is common, surely someone has encountered.
It turned out that the problem is very relevant. What was not advised to her — Wendy spent 5 days trying dozens of ways to wash off the nasty zinc oxide. To no avail, and the idea of shaving has become relevant again. But then chemists joined the conversation, and advised two components: a baby fat cream and a means for washing birds that got dirty in oil.
And it worked!
Zinc oxide is lipophilic, so it mixed with oil, and the remedy washed it off. Now the harmful cream lies behind seven locks, and Wendy carefully studies the composition of everything she uses.
