As many of you know, one of my daughters is really into spa and skin care products. She likes to make a lot of her own natural products and tries to buy products that are healthy for her skin and body. She recently found a website run by the Environmental Working Group that rates products based on specific toxicity ratings.
Here's a quote from their site - "Skin Deep pairs ingredients in more than 25,000 products against 50 definitive toxicity and regulatory databases, making it the largest integrated data resource of its kind. Why did a small nonprofit take on such a big project? Because the FDA doesn't require companies to test their own products for safety."
You can enter your favorite body care product in their search box and then receive a rating between 0-10 on how hazardous that product is for you. 0-2 is low hazard, 3-6 is moderate hazard and 7-10 is high hazard. We all have to buy body care products, but we don't have to buy ones that could be hazardous to our health. So why not buy the low hazard rated shampoo rather than the high hazard shampoo???
Check it out and see what you think! BTW - you don't have to enter your email there if you don't want to. You can just click "no thanks" and get into the site. http://cosmeticdatabase.com/
