Skin Deep

I just came across the website Skin Deep. It is a database by the environmental working group that grades the toxicity of your skin care products. Personal care products are not required to be tested for safety. The consumer has absolutely no idea what they are buying and consuming until they do a little research. Remember skin is the largest organ in your body and is an excellent absorber. Many medicines are being administered transdermal these days - and so are toxic chemicals.

Just type something in to get a level of toxicity. I'll admit, I'm totally overwhelmed. If you hang out on this site for longer than 5 minutes, you'll come out with your head spinning. If nothing else, it is food for thought.
