Great Resource For Cosmetic/personal Product Safety

[SGWhiskers]

Hopefully my other post will have been deleted. My hand bumped the keyboard at an inopportune time and my post came out looking more like spam.

I stumbled across this website Open Original Shared Link which has ingredients and safety ratings for thousands of products based on their ingredients. The site is an organization that is advocating regulation of personal care producs. It does not sell anything. It rates products from Cover Girl to Tom's of Maine to little known organic web businesses.

I though it was great to review the chemicals in my products, see other compaines that "looked" gluten free, and find alternatives for products I had to get rid of when I went gluten-free or for the chemically alternatives I've replaced somethings with since then. Unfortunately, the don't look specifically at gluten, but tocepherol is listed and by sorting by name or by score, you can get an idea if a company is worth looking into a little more.

I was a little confused when I went to the site, but after playing around for a couple of minutes, I had it figured out. A hint is that green buttons with 0's are safer and red ones with 9's are bad. Everything is relative as well.

Have fun looking up your products.
