How can you make sense of the impossibly long ingredient lists on personal care products? How do you find safe, healthy alternatives for shampoo, toothpaste and deodorant?

I mine the EWG’s Skin Deep Database extensively, including their provisional rating system for non-listed products, since I am a big fan of small artisan producers (who may be less likely to be listed). I also recommend the book Slow Death by Rubber Duck. It is informative, well-documented and a highly entertaining read!.
