Checking skincare ingredient safety

[AndiAmsterdam]

Hi ladies,

I hope you all are doing well!! I was just curious to know if any of you are aware of a website or book where I can crosscheck skincare ingredients for safety? I already know the big no-nos -- no retinol/vitamin A derivatives, no beta hydroxy acids, no chemical sunscreens, etc., but I was hopeful that there might be a more comprehensive list out there somewhere.

Please let me know if you know of a good website!

Have you been to the Environmental Working Group's website? They rate skincare products (and cleaning products). I'm not sure if they have stuff specifically on pregnancy but they definitely list all the ingredients. It will make you never want to buy commercial products again though!! (fair warning, haha).

Here's the link: https://www.ewg.org/skindeep/
