Skin Deep

Have you ever wondered about the safety and toxicity of the products you are using for your family?  We worry about what we eat, but why not about what we put on our skin?

Skin Deep has created an online safety guide for cosmetics and personal care products.   The database has nearly a quarter of all the products on the market (62,488 products with 7,644 ingredients).

The products are ranked on a 0-10 scale; 0 being the least chemically toxic and 10 being the highest.  You will be shocked to find out some of the nasty stuff contained in many products.

New parents, be sure to check out the Parent's buying guide; it offers suggestions on products that are lower in toxicity and chemicals.  For online viewing, click here.
