How safe are your skincare products? Find out here.



Just found this brilliant website. If you care about your skin and want to learn more about the products in your bathroom cabinet and whether or not they are toxic or harmful in anyway take a look.

EWG is a founding member of the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics. Skin Deep helps fuel and inform this nationwide coalition of public health, educational, religious, labor, women's, environmental and consumer groups working to protect the health of consumers and workers by requiring the health and beauty industry to phase out the use of dangerous chemicals and replace them with safer alternatives. More than 1,000 companies have joined the effort by signing the Compact for Safe Cosmetics, a pledge to produce safer products and publish safety data.
EWG obtained detailed information on these products from online retailers, manufacturers, product packaging, and, to a lesser extent, through other methods described below. In most cases the information we obtain includes a brand name, product name, directions for use, warnings, ingredients, package/advertising text, and indications (cosmeceuticals).
