**Edit: Another Question** What was the website...

Never mind! I found it! Another question... Does anyone know how often this database is updated? I found my shampoo on there and I was surprised by its rating. Then, I compared the ingredients they have listed on the website entry for the shampoo and the ingredients listed on my shampoo bottle and they aren't the same. On the website it says that Sodium Lauryll Sulfate is the 2nd ingredient, but it isn't in the ingredient list on my shampoo at all. And my shampoo bottle says "paraben, phthalate, sulfate and butylen gycol free" which the ingredients on the bottle support.

Someone posted a link to a site that list soaps, shampoos, etc and rates there toxicity. Can someone link me to it? I forgot to bookmark it and cant find the post.


Thanks!

If it says the word "fragrance" they give it a lower rating because there is no regulation on it. They can use ingredients that have phthalates and other dangerous chemicals.

Right, I get that. But the ingredients that the database has listed for my shampoo are not the same ingredients that are listed on the shampoo bottle.

They might have changed their ingredients. hmmm... That's odd tho, bc it will usually say "old product". Idk
