About EWG Skin Deep

Free database from the Environmental Working Group that rates personal care products and ingredients by its own hazard scale.

Skin Deep is a free online database run by the Environmental Working Group, a US nonprofit. You can search personal care products and ingredients and see EWG's hazard rating for each, along with the concerns it lists and how much data it had to work with. EWG also runs a verification program that brands can apply to.

The ratings reflect EWG's own method and point of view, and some scientists and industry groups disagree with parts of it. Use the database to learn which ingredients are being discussed and why, and check the data-availability note on each rating. A hazard rating is not the same as the risk from normal use of a finished product.

Coverage is strongest for products sold in the United States.
