Skin Deep

Have you ever wondered what goes into your cosmetic products? What ingredients are truly safe? and what ones have been blown out of proportion by the media? Well, the website, Skin Deep, has over 32,295 products that they have reviewed and ranked according to safety levels. There aim is as follows, "To fill in where companies and the government leave off: companies are allowed to use almost any ingredient they wish, and our government doesn't require companies to test products for safety before they're sold. (Our) scientists built Skin Deep to be a one-of-a-kind resource, integrating our in-house collection of personal care product ingredient listings with more than 50 toxicity and regulatory databases."

So next time you put that shaving cream, soap, deodorant or make-up on- check out their website and see how safe it truly is.
