Another such database is http://www.ewg.org.  Look at the right navigator link to Skin Deep.  I bought some expensive face cream from, of all places, Whole Foods, that is rated 6/10 for carcinogens.  Of course, I didn't look it up before purchasing.  Now hoping they'll take it back.

Yes, the www.cosmeticsdatabase.com is wonderfull.  After learning about his data base,  I learned that it doesn't matter where you purchase the products you 1st have to check them out.

I too purchased a sunless tanner at Wholefoods and it was an 8 on the hazard scale! I gave it back ofcourse.  It's probably safer to get a tan at that rate .   You should check out sunscreens, they're pretty toxic too and they don't offer protection as they claim.  There is excellent information about sunscreens on the above website.  Since then I only use Badger sunscreen which is a #2 on the hazard scale but also $15 for a small tube but it does go a long way and it's one of the cheaper ones that is also safe and offers excellent protection.
