So I've come across this great website and it has quickly become my skincare 'bible' of sorts. Being a Williams (which is synonomous with frugality), I cannot simply just throw out all the skincare items I have and start over. Plus the Lowrie side of me (aka. my husband Zach) would be more than a little irritated with me for my lack of respect with our finances. Instead I am slowly buying new and "better for me" skincare products as my old ones run out. I use this website to look up any and all baby products for Dutch and am starting to take a good hard look at what all my make up contains as well. It's pretty easy to spend a good hour or so on this site (at least for me it is).

Take a look, play around a bit...there is a wealth of information. Including a tool that allows you to input the ingredients on any product you are using that is not in their database and gives you the 'Hazard Score' based on those ingredients.
You will most likely see more from this website in future blogs. Ta!

Disclaimer
This blog is more for me than anyone else, but if you find it helpful, I am glad to be of assistance. In true OCD fashion, I tend to research the hell out of something, and this is my information repository as such. I will do my best to only post information, links, and documents that I feel have been thoroughly researched by the author, however, I will probably also include commentaries or editorials. All that to say, don't take anything at face value, but research it yourself before you form a true opinion. This is also to help me organize my reasons for defending the lifestyle I am pursuing. As with anything, I feel there needs to be a balance between extremes. Right now I am closer to the American diet extreme and have a long path ahead of me towards the vegan way of life. I don't intend to go barefoot, stop showering and only eat things I've grown in my backyard garden. But I do intend, as my research leads me, to start making dramatic changes in my lifestyle that will gradually get me to where I want to be.

i'm familiar with this site. very resourceful.
and i too, am in the same boat of frugaility with you. the worst part is when i get something as a gift then i feel DOOMED to use it until it's gone. i don't know which is worse: pouring dangerous toxins down the drain and into our watershed that someone gave me in good jesture, or, putting dangerous chemicals and agents on my skin, or, on conrad's skin, or to clean with...yikes.
