Whether you're looking for lipstick, sunscreen or contact lens solution search the following two websites for the exact product, or the company, and see how the products are rated according to health hazards. Even if the exact product isn't listed, if everything of the same type, e.g. lipsticks, by the same company has medium or bad ratings, then chances are, your lipstick of choice also has a similar rating.
1. EWG's Skin Deep Cosmetics Database
They have a huge database, and not only do they break down the hazards by categories such as cancer or developmental & reproductive toxicity, they also list every single ingredient and their ratings, as well!
2. GoodGuide
I love how they also rate the product's impact on health but also on the environment and society. Furthermore, they also list alternatives with better ratings. This is a great way to easily find products to switch to! And they also rate other products, not just cosmetics, such as household cleaning products and apparel.
And now back to clearing out my bathroom cabinets....
Are there similar websites you know of, that rate various cosmetics and cleaning products? Share in the comments!
