Skin Deep: Cosmetic Safety Database |
|
That favorite lipstick of yours may pose a
hazard to your health.... Skin Deep is a safety guide to cosmetics and
personal care products brought to you by researchers at the
Environmental Working Group. Skin Deep
pairs ingredients in more than 42,000 products against 50 definitive
toxicity and regulatory databases, making it the largest integrated data
resource of its kind. Why did a small non-profit take on such a big
project? Because the FDA doesn't require companies to test their own
products for safety. |
