How accurate is that website I was looking on it because I was wondering about some of the ingredients in my products and they said a lot of it was bad like if my product had fragrance in it it basically said to avoid it and fragrance was the last ingredient -.- sooooo I'm confused if I should trust that I tried Paula's Choice ingreidnet dictionary but some of the stuff wasn't listed there.

EWG is a good starting point for quickly finding possible problem ingredients, after that I highly suggest doing your own research on the ingredients they flag to narrow down what ones actually concern you. They flag everything from light irritants (which some people are very sensitive to) to carcinogens which everyone should avoid. EWG is a good tool but shouldn't be the deciding factor :-)

They are not a reliable source. They have a very politicized agenda and they skew information to suit their needs. It is more propagandistic than factual.
Paula's Choice is a better source for evaluating ingredients, though it isn't perfect. Cosdna is one of the best databases to search to evaluate beauty and skincare products. Cir-safety is another.
