Eye Opener: Environmental Working Group


For this week's Eye Opener we were asked to visit http://www.ewg.org/skindeep/ to find out the health concerns of a beauty product that we use.  I decided to check out my face wash, Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash Foaming Scrub, Pink Grapefruit, and was pretty surprised to find out that it is rated very hazardous.  On a scale of 0-10 this face wash was rated an 8.  The company, Neutrogena, does not sign the campaign for healthy cosmetics, and according to PETA they conduct animal testing.  After finding this out I am very curious to find out what face washes are not this hazardous to the environment.

  1. One would get the impression that Neutrogena products are fairly safe with the amount of advertising that they do. It is sad to hear that this product is rated hazardous. Keep searching. I'm sure you can find another product that is just a good, but not so evil to our environment.
