A May 2025 post on the Lead Safe Mama site (the article URL is recorded in this record’s metadata; the access link points to the site’s index of published lab reports, which the post itself cites) reports the first baby lotion sent to a laboratory through its community-funded testing programme. The summary graphic, headed April 2025 Lab Report, prints non-detect for all four metals.
Key numbers
| Analyte | Result as printed | Comparison value printed beside it |
|---|---|---|
| Lead | non-detect < 5 ppb | 5 ppb |
| Cadmium | non-detect < 5 ppb | 5 ppb |
| Mercury | non-detect < 5 ppb | 2 ppb |
| Arsenic | non-detect < 10 ppb | 10 ppb |
The comparison values are labelled 2021 proposed action levels from the Baby Food Safety Act of 2021, a bill that was not enacted and that concerns baby food. The graphic notes that the mercury detection threshold is higher than its comparison value.
Methods (brief)
Not printed. The post says the full laboratory report is at the bottom of the article, but the printed copy ends with the summary graphic. The laboratory name, method, and whether the thresholds are detection or reporting limits are not given. The basis is presumably the lotion as sold; it is not stated.
Evidence fitness
The post supports one statement: one lot of one baby lotion was reported below 5 ppb lead, 5 ppb cadmium, 5 ppb mercury, and 10 ppb arsenic. It does not support a concentration, a method comparison, or a limit comparison.
Limitations
One lot, no laboratory report in the copy, no method, commercial affiliate context. The page text elsewhere refers to the lotion as “this supplement product”, a template carry-over. No author email is printed.
