Environmental Working Group, Personal Care Product Labeling
The Environmental Working Group (EWG) is cited as a premier resource for rating the safety of kitchen and personal care products. Dr. Brown explains that terms like "organic" or "all-natural" have no legal definition in the cosmetics industry, leading to the introduction of the Personal Care Product Safety Act. He notes that the medical assumption of skin being impermeable is outdated, as the body readily absorbs chemicals from topical products.
