This is a repost I originally did last summer but I thought it was worth sharing again for any new people here.

Looking for safer sunscreen to protect the kids this summer? Or shampoos without dangerous preservatives? Skin Deep, the popular cosmetics and personal care products database, helps you learn what not to buy, and helps you find safer options for you and your family. This in-depth resource has recently been expanded and improved: the site has been redesigned top to bottom, with ratings added for nearly 10,000 more products. Now in its fourth year and third major update, the Skin Deep product safety database provides safety ratings for nearly 25,000 personal care products—almost a quarter of all products on the market—and the 7,000 ingredients they contain. Due to gaping loopholes in federal law, companies can put virtually any ingredient into personal care products. Even worse, the government does not require pre-market safety tests for any of them. Skin deep's aim is to fill in where companies and the government left off. Skin Deep is the only tool available to consumers for assessing and comparing the safety of personal care products.
