[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't wear a lot of makeup normally except for a powder foundation. I'm currently trying Coastal Classics Creations stuff - found it on the EWG website and buy it online. I works fine for me. I plan to try their deodorant next.  I also use Tom's of Maine toothpaste.

I've stopped using a moisturizer with SPF (my skin can handle the sun, especially now that fall is here) but still use Eucerin Calming Cream to help with dryness. It's a 3 on EWG.

I'm using hair care products labeled paraben free but have not searched them in EWG because I'm afraid. : )

Not related to makeup, but the overall topic, so I'll also note I stopped using plastics for food and drink long ago - only glass/aluminum now. I've stopped taking receipts wherever possible, but I find it oddly difficult.[b] I pretend not to know about hazards in furnishings (flame retardants in couch, stuff like that). There's only so much I can do. [/b]

For those who don't like EWG, this might be helpful:

Im sorry but this made me laugh b/c that's what I do! Unless you want to throw all your couches and furniture out and buy all wool couches, etc and spend a fortune there is no way to remove flame retardants from your home. I have decided going forward, we will buy wood furniture (without cushions), organic mattresses, etc but there is no way to get rod of what you have. It's sad.[/quote]
