Here’s another post for my challenge Sharing Is Caring. This challenge is all about sharing useful information and resources. Everybody is welcome to join!
Here a useful site for cosmetics lovers who like to read the labels. The site is called CosDNA and there you can check the safety of the products you are using. You can also check out each ingredient on its own.
What I like about the site is that once you open the ingredient list for a certain product, you can also see what purpose each ingredient serves. What’s more, you can also see whether the ingredient can irritate your skin, or whether it can cause acne.
The database with products is quite big, but you can also just copy and paste the ingredient list of a product in the Analyze Cosmetics tab, and you’ll see all the information about its ingredients. In my opinion, that’s a very useful site.
Also, check out this poll about cosmetics ingredients.

A very useful post … thanks for sharing
Thanks for stopping by, dear friend!
Great post with really good information! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you very much, I am glad to hear that!
I use almost natural products. There are also those who buy and always read content.
It’s great that you can use natural products! Sometimes I have problems with them.
Thank you very much! I am glad to hear that!
This is very useful for all of us, thanks for sharing!
Thank you very much, Carol!
You are very welcome.
I worked in a dye laboratory a long time ago and a lot of cosmetics that look a million dollars are just dishwashing liquid and dye. Dyes do amazing things to the appearance of the product. A lot of rubbish is advertised.
Yes, it pays to know what you are buying
That’s horrible, I remember you mentioned that before. Did they write the real ingredients on the labels?
At the time I was about 18 years old and now Im 63. Now the dye laboratory was Buckley & Young that imported dyes from Switzerland. It was real quality dyes and I learned a lot about colours from this job.
Now this particular shampoo was going to become on the market and this was a request from that shampoo company.
A lot was emphasised on the herbal essences of this shampoo. Which was maybe 1 drop if any in the detergent they use.
Many commercial shampoos are responsible for bad scalp conditions.
No regulations have been enforced and a lot advertised is not correct.
The ingredients were there but not put on the labels but not in the right way.
Advertising has a lot to answer for!
Unfortunately that’s true, I can’t believe how many companies are still doing things like that. I have had problems with bio and organic products too, it’s really difficult to find the right product.
Thank you for this, Ellie. I have Alpha-gal syndrome, which makes me allergic to animal products. Knowing what is in the products before I use them could save my life!
I am so sorry that you have to deal with such a condition! I hope that this site can help a little bit.
Thank you, Ellie! 🙂 <3 It's not so bad now, but it was. When I first got sick, I had no idea what was causing it. At least now I know what to avoid 🙂
I’m glad to hear that you can keep it under control!
Lol, and I forgot to use the hashtag #sharingiscaring
