That is interesting! I think Dr. Baumann - a natural skin care line, I'm not specifically convinced about the effectiveness of the products in itself - provides a very comprehensive list of several cosmetic ingredients, its usage, effectiveness, etc. Obviously there is some marketing behind it though and a strong belief in 'all natural products and ingredients'. Still, if you're skin is easily clogged/irritated it might be of some help.
ReplyDeletemm.. the international Dr. Baumann product site, is referring to another page now with a list of cosmetic ingredients, here's the link: http://www.ewg.org/skindeep/
They referred me to the wrong site sorry :(, problem is the English variant was not available for free, but I found another link. Here is the comprehensive list of ingredients according to INCI-designations (according to Baumann and Henrich). If an ingredient is clogging/irritating your skin, this might give some insight (or not :S ):
