Skin Deep Cosmetics Database

Dear Readers,

As Senior Vice President for Research at EWG, I'm often asked why we started Skin Deep. I always tell people that the No. 1 reason is you.

As a mother, I want to do everything I can to keep my family safe from harmful chemicals. I know you feel the same way.

You told us that you needed accurate, up-to-date information about the products you and your family use every day so you can make healthy choices and avoid toxic ingredients.

But just as you count on us, we count on you.

If you count on EWG's Skin Deep Cosmetics Database and other shopping tips like our guides to lower radiation phones and pesticides in produce then we hope you'll make a donation today -- before our May 4 fundraising deadline -- to support this valuable research. Give today and you'll get a brand-new cosmetics shopping guide based on our "made-over" Skin Deep database to help you choose the best products for your family.

Click here to make a donation of $5 or more to EWG today and receive our handy cosmetics shopping guide. Your gift allows us to keep developing the information you need to stay safe and healthy.

With most people using about 10 cosmetic and personal care products each day, the need for Skin Deep is clear. Somebody has to analyze those products and make sure that the roughly 126 ingredients we put on our body every day aren't toxic and potentially hazardous to our health.

The government isn't doing it. The industry isn't doing it. That leaves us. EWG has stepped up to fill the void and give you the crucial health and safety information you need about the products you use.

I hope you'll take a moment to help us out with a donation. We must hit our fundraising goal before the May 4 deadline so we can keep providing you with the information you've come to count on.

Click here to make a donation of $5 or more to EWG and help us reach this important fundraising goal before May 4. If you give today, you'll get our updated cosmetics guide.

We may do the work, but we couldn't do it without you. When it comes right down to it, you are at the heart of everything we do. Help us keep working for you by giving your support today.

Sincerely,

Jane Houlihan
