I recently stumbled across a great website that is run by the EWG.
EWG stands for Environmental Working Group and they have what they refer to as the "
Skin Deep Cosmetics Database". This database contains revealing information about many of the products that we use every day (soaps, lotions, make-up, deodorant, etc.). The products are ranked on a scale of 0 to 10, with 0 being the least hazardous. There are also notations that explain whether this ranking is based on minimal research, or an abundance of research. I like the fact that you can make your own informed decisions based on how much is truly known about a particular product or ingredient. They also break things down into the following categories: overall hazard, cancer, developmental & reproductive toxicity, allergies & immunotoxicity, and use restrictions. So, head on over to the
Skin Deep Cosmetics Database and learn what you need to know about the products you use every day!
