I haven't spent a lot of time with this site yet but it seems pretty cool. You can visit it and list in your cosmetics and it will tell you if there are hazardous ingrediants in it. Remember the FDA does not require cosmetic companies to test their products for safety. I typed in my Revlon eyeliner and was not real pleased with what I found.

Check it out - it looks like a neat site.

Great now that I read how bad my eyeliner is (the same one I've used for years) my eyes are burning.

I'll keep my eyes open -- truthfully though, I think I would be afraid to see a food site like this one!

I have used this website for a few years now. I am really liking the mineral makeup I am using. The website is Mineral Makeup - Foundation, Eye Shadow, Concealer, Lip Colors, and Blushes by Everyday Minerals. You can even get samples for free, you just pay shipping and handling which was like $3.97.

I just wanted to bump this up in reply to the Origins makeup post so you could check it out. Their eyeliner seems to be the best. The skin care stuff seems to rate worse than the makeup. Still this looks better than the other brands I have checked out.

This is a great site but be sure to check the "last updated" date at the top of the product you are searching for. The Origins scincare stuff hasn't been updated in over 2 years and they have since removed those chemicals from their products.

All of my Olay Regenerist products (that were recommended by my dermatologist!) had horrible ratings. Ugh. I am so glad I have been slathering on all of that stuff for a year now. Won't be buying any more of that....
