Skin Deep scores products and ingredients according to health hazards like cancer, birth defects and reproductive harm on a scale of zero to 10 (zero being the safest and 10 being the worst for health). Users can search by product type (“hair care”), by brand (“Herbal Essences”) or by chemical (“sodium laureth sulfate”). Visit Skin Deep.
