Do you know what you are putting on your body??

Once again my wonderful friend Aimee told me about a great website that has some awesome info...You can search for any and pretty much all of your makeup, lotion, shampoo, sunscreen...anything and everything that you put on your body. It is a crazy wake up call to things that we are putting in our bodies and how bad they are for us. Some are worse then others. My face lotion was rated a 8 out of 10 (10 is the worst), my face wash was only a 4...it's just great info and won't hurt you to check it out. Here is some info on the site.
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 25,000 products against 50 definitive toxicity and regulatory databases, making it the largest integrated data resource of its kind. Why did a small nonprofit take on such a big project? Because the FDA doesn't require companies to test their own products for safety.
