Safe Personal Care Products

In my inbox this morning, I had an email from the Environmental Working Group (a wonderful resource!) about how to choose safe personal care products, for ourselves and for our children. http://www.ewg.org/healthyhometips/ingredientsinpersonalcareproducts I knew the importance of "paraben-free"; but, this article takes it a few steps further, highlighting all of the ingredients to avoid (just a few) and are so, so important to remember. Because, as the article points out, our government does not require testing on personal care products. So, companies can label their products, "natural" or "hypo-allergenic" or anything else that appeals to consumers so they can sell their product. It is up to us to educate ourselves on what is good for our bodies (and what is bad!).
