Baby wash, shampoo contains cancer-causing chemicals, group says WASHINGTON — More than half the baby shampoo, lotions and other infant-care products analyzed by a health advocacy group were found to contain trace amounts of two chemicals that are believed to cause cancer, the organization said Thursday.

Now mothers themselves, Visram and Rolph gave a Mothers’ Day present to investors last year: the announcement that Happy Family was being acquired by French food giant Danone, reportedly, for more than $250 million for 92 percent of the company. The acquisition demonstrates that impact investments -- investments made into companies and organizations that aim to create social and environmental good -- can indeed produce significant exits. Now, Happy Family will test another hypothesis: that mission-driven businesses can maintain their social impact inside huge global corporations.
