About EWG?
It's the mission at EWG(Environmental Working Group) to use the power of information to protect human health and the environment. EWG's Skin Deep database gives you practical solutions to protect yourself and your family from everyday exposures to chemicals. 
They launched Skin Deep in 2004 to create online profiles for cosmetics and personal care products and their potential hazards and health concerns. 
Their aim is to fill in where industry and government leave off. Companies are allowed to use almost any ingredient they wish. The U.S. government doesn't review the safety of products before they're sold. Their staff scientists compare the ingredients on personal care product labels and websites to information in nearly 60 toxicity and regulatory databases. Now in its eighth year, EWG's Skin Deep database provides you with easy-to-navigate ratings for a wide range of products and ingredients on the market.


About EWG Ratings?
For every product and ingredient in Skin Deep, there’s a two-part score – a hazard score and a data availability score. The ingredient hazard score, from 1-10 reflects known and suspected hazards of ingredients. The data availability rating reflects the number of scientific studies in the published scientific literature and the number included in the Skin Deep database.
