Cosmetic ingredient knowledge is priceless!

Thinking about cosmetic ingredients again….these days, it seems that’s all I ever think about re: our products!  How can they be better…and better….and better!!?? Then I ran across this short article in the May/Jun 2009 issue of Spa Magazine, entitled, “Research your current beauty routine.” http://www.spamagazine.com/

“Do you have a favorite makeup-, shampoo, or sunscreen that you just can’t live without — even though you suspect it’s not necessarily safe or eco-friendly?  You can find out exactly how toxic it is (or isn’t) on a scale of 0 to 10 (zero being “low-hazard” and 10 being “high-hazard”) through the Environmental Working Group’s Skin Deep cosmetic safety database (cosmeticsdatabase.com), which checks thousands of products against dozens of toxicity screens.  We tried it and happily learned that some of our favorite products that aren’t marketed as green are still very low on the toxicity scale.”  (that would be Saltspring Soapworks!)  “Once you check out how your beauty staples rate, you’ll be empowered to make informed and conscious purchases.

Knowledge is priceless – and in this case it’s free!”
