Helpful Non Toxic Databases (like the Think Dirty App & Skin Deep Database)

Описание: We really are in charge of our own products and home. And as consumers, we have to know so much before we buy.

Once you know about toxins in most products, it can be really intimidating to find NEW products, whether it be personal and skin care products or home and cleaning products. The thought of finding an ingredient list and searching through each individual item can feel really daunting. And rightly so - the time that goes into choosing something as simple as a hand lotion or window spray can be absolutely mind boggling. Helpful solutions like the Think Dirty App and Skin Deep Database can contradict each other in the search for non toxic home items and beauty products.

I think the biggest piece of advice I can offer when it comes to looking up non toxic products and items is to cross reference and look for brand transparency. Products change over time, and it doesn’t even hurt to do a double check on what you’ve been using every now and then. When a company changes the ingredients they use, they’re not mandated to inform the consumer. Sometimes it’s a change for the better, but sometimes it could be an addition that leaves the product with undisclosed toxins.

This is why I almost love the idea of ingredient transparency MORE than trusting a database. But I think that both options are helpful and serve a purpose when you’re doing product research. There are a few nuances that are helpful when you go to look up products in either the Think Dirty App or the Skin Deep Database that can be critical in finding the information you need.

I’m all about teaching HOW to do something rather than just giving you a list of non toxic products you can trust. If you know just how to look up items and look up products in a non toxic database, you’ll be able to decipher what’s healthy or not each time you’re about to make a purchase.
