Skin Deep

More and more research is coming out about the harmful chemicals and toxins in skin care products. Skin Deep is a project of EWG - the Environmental Working Group.

Skin Deep is a personal care product safety guide with in-depth information on 14,835 products - 1,051 brands of lotion, lip balm, deodorant, sunscreen and other popular products - and the 7,093 ingredients that form them. With its core of 37 toxicity and regulatory databases, Skin Deep provides safety ratings and brand-by-brand comparisons that can help consumers choose safer products.

Research your favorite beauty products, makeup, skin care products, soap, shampoo, toothpaste, etc. on Skin Deep and see what is in the products you use on your skin and absorb into your body.

Did you know: the government cannot mandate safety studies of cosmetics, and only 11 percent of the 10,500 ingredients FDA has documented in products have been assessed for safety by the cosmetic industry's review panel. Explore your products with Skin Deep's in-depth rating guides, and find safer choices for you and your family.

Search by product name, brand or type. Additionally, you can view the list of highest concern brands and lowest concern brands.
