Online resources for safe personal care products

Thanks to Jesse Avery for a very informative EcoParents meeting last night! We certainly learned a lot about personal care products, so that we can make more informed choices for our families. Whew...it was a lot of info though! Here are a few of the online resources he shared with us to help us keep on top of this important issue.

• Environmental Working Group's Skin Deep Database
• Campaign for Safe Cosmetics
• Aubrey Organics Dictionary of Natural Cosmetics
• Organic Consumers Association - Coming Cleam campaign for organic integrity in skin care products

Stay tuned for a brief summary of some of Jesse's recommendations about what to avoid in personal care products, and safe alternatives...

And a HUGE THANK YOU to the Linden Hills Co-op for their generous donation of samples and gifts, as well as their assistance in finding our speaker!
