Our Stolen Future (www.ourstolenfuture.org) provides a host of information about a new category
of toxic chemicals called endocrine disruptors. Many man-made chemicals fall into this category—
chemicals that in some way block, trigger, or change our normal endocrine function.
Scorecard (www.scorecard.org) provides an in-depth pollution report for your state or town,
covering air, water, chemicals, and more.
Toxicology Data Network (TOXNET) (www.toxnet.nlm.nih.gov) is another great way to check the
toxic potential of chemical ingredients in your cosmetic products.
