A while ago I reported on the awesome database of cosmetics and skin care products set up by Environmental Working Group's (EWG) Skin Deep. Turns out, they just mastered a major upgrade and have doubled their inventory of brands. From their site:
"Skin Deep pairs ingredients in nearly 25,000 products against 50 definitive toxicity and regulatory databases, making it the largest integrated data resource of its kind."
Nice!
And they have an entire section devoted to Baby Care Products, reviewing everything from wipes to sunscreen to nipple cream.
I can get lost on their site for hours!
There is a great Canadian company with an extensive line of natural baby skin care products called Derma Med. As a fellow "green mom" I try to buy Canadian as much as possible. I carry this line on my own "Green baby" store http://www.betterbabybums.com. Check us out!

Skin Deep has incredible amounts of information, but it's hard to remember everything! Green Healthy Baby's (www.greenhealthybaby.com) products are all chosen based on this database. This makes it easy to grab all the products you need in one stop!

Totally love and rely-upon SkinDeep. But I also agree that it's hard to remember everything! So much so, in fact, that I started an online store dedicated to providing only pure products rated "low hazard" by SkinDeep and supporting the pure industry in the process... www.repurify.com. Great selection of pure mom/baby products!

Buying quality products is what we need to protect our child's skin.
