My beauty products - even some of the ones I thought safe - are an abomination. Here's to clearing out the bathroom of toxins...
Some examples of the good and bad:
Aveeno Clear Complexion Daily Moisturizer - moderate hazard
Olay Body Quench Ultra Moisture for Extra Dry Skin - high hazard
Origins High Potency Night-A-Mins - high hazard
Zia Essential Eye Gel - moderate hazard (thank god for moderate...a 3 out of 10 score!)
Burt's Bees Lemon & Vitamin E Bath & Body Oil - low hazard*
DiorShow Mascara - high hazard (9 out of 10 - this stuff's never touching my eyes again...)
Cargo Duo Color Lip Gloss - moderate hazard
Tom's of Maine Antiplaque Plus Whitening Clear Gel - low hazard*
* It should be noted that Burt's Bees and Tom's Of Maine are owned by Clorox (!) and Colgate, respectively.
These are just the tip of my cosmetic and beauty supply iceberg. Check out the Environmental Working Group's Skin Deep Cosmetic Safety Database.
I'm afraid to even check...

Ugh...do I check or not? I'm scared at what I might find.
