...do you really know what you're putting on your body?



Do you ever wonder what is really in the products that you are using? Make-up, lotion, shampoo ect, contain lots of toxic ingredients. Flawless beauty blog is all about focusing on products that are natural, easy on the environment and/or organic. I understand it is hard for people to set boundaries and use strictly organic products so I am a believer that some is better than none. Some products should just be off limits though! How do you know? Well there is this amazing site called Skin Deep. This site is put out by the Environmental Working Group, whose mission is to use the power of information to protect human health and the environment. This site has a ton of information and focuses on children's skincare products as well. I want to thank Cathleen, a flawless beauty reader who made a comment about this site. It made me realize how all readers could benefit from getting this information. I think it's a very important site to share. www.cosmeticsdatabase.com

The Skin Deep site is great. One can even input products that are not on the database to see if they are hazardous. Note that few of the products listed in their database don't have all the ingredients. Back in November I noticed that some of the Korres Natural products did not list all of their ingredients.
