I've carried a list of dangerous ingredients around with me for over a year now, I use the cosmetics database which tells you how toxic ingredients are in cosmetics, I also buy cruelty free too.
Thanks Michael.

It's all cosmetics Ann not just make up, there's dangerous chemicals in shampoos, conditioners, sun cream, shaving cream, hairspray, skin care creams, soap, aftershave, perfume, deoderants, washing up liquid, etc...
