How do your cosmetics rate?
About a year ago, or maybe more, I was introduced to the Cosmetic Database . It rates cosmetics, toiletries, and health products based on what is in them. I often look up the products I buy to see what they rate. My goal at the moment is to only use products that rate 0-4. Even a 4 is a moderate hazard. I use a lot of products like Burts Bees, which you would think would be a "healthy" product, but they can rate higher than a 4. Sometimes something like a baby shampoo being tear free can make it rate higher. The one brand that is no fail for me is California Baby. I've started using that for Nate and even for myself. California Baby has a good smelling bug spray. While it may not be as super effective as a deet filled spray, it also doesn't make me feel like I can't breathe. I challenge you to go to the database and look up what you use. You might be surprised and might feel yourself looking at other brands.
