in search of safe products

Not only did a friend recently direct me to this website, but I also came across it in a great book... hmmmm, is that a hint? In either case, you may be interested to learn that the FDA does not require companies to test cosmetics and personal care products for safety, including children's product lines.

Here is a website that may be useful for those of you who are interested in taking invested steps towards avoiding exposing yourself and your family to potentially harmful and toxic substances as much as you can. Skin Deep is the largest integrated data resource of its kind. You can type in any cosmetic/personal care product that you regularly use and see a toxicity report. Or you can do searches, such as looking for sunscreen which is both least toxic and most effective.
