Great resource for toiletries

After the whole J&J thing broke, I was a little nervous about what sort of toiletries to get for baby.  At our newborn care class, the instructor recommended the Environmental Working Group's website.  They rate a whole bunch of toiletries/cosmetics/etc on a 0-10 scale, with 0 being the best.  What's nice is you can easily find out why the item got a certain rating.  Sometimes, it's b/c the item has potential allergens, which may not be a big deal.  Other times, it's b/c the ingredients have been linked to increased cancer risk... kind of a bigger deal, imo, especially when putting anything on my newborn.

Anywho, for those of you who are interested, here is the website:
