Is it true that perfume toxins (dyes, preservatives, etc) could not get into breastmilk?  Skin is the largest organ and the job of skin is to protect, secrete, and absorb.  How difficult would it be for these toxins to get into a mother's milk.  I subscribe to a holistic lifestyle and it includes natural lotions and cleaning products (pure cocoa butter, shea butter, castille soap for laundry).  I would think that a toxin absorbed into the skin would have a better chance of getting into breastmilk than something ingested.  Can someone shed some light on the science?
