Glad EWG’s been helpful. Debi — You should def. drop EWG a note re: the Neutrogena foundation. I use Gabriel –

Callie — Depending on what product it is — I’d try to give it to someone who might be able to use it first. If you can’t, and if the container’s recyclable, put the remaining product in a used plastic bag and throw it in the trash, recycling the container.

If I want to get rid of semi used product, what is the best option? I don’t feel good about dumping it in the trash.

I love Skin deep and EWG.org, refer to it allays before I make purchases. But its allays good to check your labels, sometimes the information on the site isn’t all up to date or correct. For instance I was looking for the safest foundation, which show to be Netrogena, however its finding are based on the part of the label that comes off, there is a whole list of ingredients on the part of the label that gets left on the bottle that wasn’t included in SD’s research. Its always good to double check against their finding to make sure your making the safest choice.

Yours, Debi

Hi Siel,
Thank you so much for telling us about this site. Even when you know to look out for parabens, mineral oil, etc, I always find it so difficult to really know what you are buying.

Some ratings really did surprise me, like Cetaphil cleanser was rated a 7, ALBA Very Emollient Body Lotion, Daily Shade Formula (SPF 16) an 8. Some of the ‘good’ guys are bad. Sheesh…

I made a shopping list based on this info!
