Safety

Today I am checking out the ingredients in my skin care products to see how safe they are:

where you can search ingredients as well as products.

In general, I would say that this is discouraging and infuriating. So far, fragrance and color dyes are showing up as the most toxic ingredients in my products. So I'm being poisoned by useless ingredients I don't even want. And finding something without them is remarkably difficult.

It's also frustrating to see toxic ingredients in products that market themselves as organic and environmental.

And then: why so many? Why does a simple facial cleanser need 20 different ingredients?

Look forward to future reports on what I find to actually clean and moisturize my skin.
