A Consumer's Dictionary of Cosmetic Ingredients
is a useful reference containing entries to over 6,000 ingredients
used in skin care, aromatherapy and cosmetic/cosmeceutical products.
It describes both safe and harmful ingredients. Although the ingredient
descriptions are not as thorough as I would like, the descriptions
can tip you off to ingredients that you may wish to research further
or use with greater caution. This is a must-have resource for those
who want to ensure that the products they think are safe or all
natural actually are.
