Personal care resources & information
Looking for accurate safety information on personal products?
I recommend visiting the EWG site which stands for Environmental Working Group. Since 1993, it's been an excellent unbiased resource for information on the safety of various skin, body and haircare products.
EWG VERIFIED™: Think consumer products are safe? Think again.
Most products on the market today are made with chemicals that were introduced several decades ago. Since then, scientists have found that many of these chemicals are related to cancer, asthma, birth defects and fertility problems.
Some of these chemicals are in products we use every single day - our shampoo, our soap, our furniture, our mattresses. In many cases, manufacturers don't even have to list their ingredients on their packages or websites, so there's no way for you to know what you're really getting.
