Skin Deep


Do you ever look at the ingredients lists on your shampoo or cosmetics and wonder what half the stuff they have listed really is? Our cosmetics, shampoos and other products have loads of suspect materials in them. While searching for more chemical free products, I found this web site called Skin Deep run by the Environmental Working Group. It scores products on how hazardous they might be to you based on their ingredients. It lists if the ingredients in your product has been linked to cancers, developmental toxicity, allergies, etc. You can search a specific product to see if they have scored it or browse to find products with the lowest and highest scores. It definitely gives me a better idea of what to look for!

  1. I spent an entire night going through the database and switched every product we use. This site has been invaluable to me. Thanks!
