Open database of cosmetic ingredients?
November 12, 2014 10:38 AM Subscribe
Is anyone aware of a searchable open database of cosmetic products and their ingredients?
Ideally with API, though I'll accept anything at this point.
For example: say I searched on exact product name "Dr Snakeoil's Amazing Anti-Ageing Potion" to get back a list "aqua, ceateryl alcohol, unobtainium, radium, phlebotinum".
Anyone found anything like this yet?
The Skin Deep cosmetics database gives a list of ingredients with their respective safety ratings/potential concerns.

Seconding EWG's Skin Deep. Probably the best guide out there. It is US focused though, so foreign products are less likely to appear.
