I recently ran out of my favorite facial moisturizer (which is pricey) and I decided to look around for a less expensive alternative. I had a few in mind so, to help me decide which to buy, I visited the Skin Deep Cosmetic Safety Database. Whoa. Yikes! Have you seen this database? It is incredibly helpful but a little scary at the same time. I was afraid to enter my favorite products for fear of finding out that they were highly toxic.

How does the database work?
From the home page, you can browse for products by type or search by brand, type, or ingredient. The search results provide a safety rating based on the product ingredients.

From mascara to man soap, the database has a little bit of everything and searching for products can be addictive. Check it out!
