what's in your cosmetics?



Hello Lovelies!

One of my wonderful subscribers sent me a link to this website and I thought it was something that was mega important to share with all of you!

So many of us nowadays are allergic to so many products and ingredients that we have to spend forever trying to look up if something has fragrance in it, or is made with a specific preservative. And then some of us are just trying to find products that are made with more natural ingredients that are healthy for our skin.

Here you can find a link to a site called CosDNA. And yep, it's exactly what it sounds like. It is a website where all you have to do is type in the product name or a keyword to find what you're looking for and a list of the ingredients for that product. The great thing about this site is that it not only gives you the name of the ingredient, but it also breaks it down into a table, where it tells you each ingredient's purpose, the likelihood on a scale of 0-5 that it will cause acne, the likelihood on a scale of 0-5 that it will cause irritation, and a safety index on a scale from 1-9. It is important to remember that for all of these scales, the lower the number, the less harmful or likely for irritation/acne. The makers of CosDNA note on their site that the purpose of the safety index is more inclined to assess whether the ingredients are prone to long-term use injures the skin or cells.

Please remember that this site is a guide and should not be used to diagnose any skin problems. If you have irritation from beauty products that lasts more than a couple of days, please see a doctor!

I hope you beauties find this site to be helpful!

Happy Glam-ing!

  1. Hey Alex! I used to use CosDNA before but now I use skincarisma.com instead after finding about them on IG. They do exactly the same thing as CosDNA but they are a lot prettier and much more informative :) Hope that helps!
