cosmeticsDo you wonder if your cosmetics are good for you? Or for the globe?

 

Don't worry, dear reader, I will as fast as I can, help you find the health and environmental impact our cosmetic products have. The most complete cosmetic and ingredient database online is the Cosmetics Database. It's an easy to use searchable database, with thousands of products. However, it is American, and not all European products are available there. That's where I come in! I will check them for you. 

 

The score of the product, shown in the table, is an average score of all ingredients. The score of every ingredient is shown in the report. The score lists from green (0-2 - low hazard), yellow (3-6 - medium hazard) to red (7-10 - high hazard). You might notice that other organizations and web sites have a different recommendation. That is because different countries sometimes have different recommendations.  

 

If you find your product is missing you can help me out by sending me pictures of your product. I need both the product name, the producer (not necessary but useful), and the list of ingredients. Please This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it them to me.

 

We'll fix the world together...
