Probably everyone knows: you look at the contents list for his shampoo or toothpaste and finds only terms that do not understand a mortal. Although I was annoyed that, but well, I've never cared more drum-I'm just too lazy.
Anders Annie Leonard. She was informed and prepared then the short film " The Story of Cosmetics " this movie, I can only recommend, as with all " The Story of. .. "Films also made this one funny, but still sound and vividly. In any case, but then my curiosity to big-time secure are the rules for Kostmetik and hygiene products in Europe, more stringent than in the U.S. ... or? My interest was piqued, especially because I as part of the Ölkatastrohe The Deepwater Horizon wanted to know sometimes, if I smear petroleum-based products in the hair or skin.
came during my Internet research, I very quickly to the side Codecheck.info - and I'm thrilled!
How it works: add
The product (either name or barcode number) into the search box and click the right result. Top right one then finds a colorful overview, you can see quickly whether substances of concern are (marked orange and red) included in the article. Scroll down to continue, you can go to any material benefits, to the existing regulations and the health / environmental Followed by read (the source from which these information is given in cosmetics are mostly Ökotest). Does one orange or red labeled substances (less or not recommended) so you can click the option above "find alternatives." In the table next to you can exclude the unwanted ingredients, then showing only products without them. It is the way in Code Check not only cosmetics, but pretty much everything: for food is displayed, for example, a nutritional traffic light, as not just the snack industry would like to see on their products
Where is the environmental benefit.
What the body does not good, can not for the environment also be sparkling. Which are not or only partially recommended materials for the most part persistent and continuing burden on the environment.
Where's the catch:
to code check-no. But those who want to make all that should be inspected and any natural cosmetic product code via the first check. The BDIH label is found although relatively many natural cosmetics, but it is unfortunately not a guarantee-see below under "experience". The BDIH is the Federal Association of German Industry and Commerce Company
for medicines, health products, dietary supplements and personal care products eV-ie a representation of interests the manufacturer, not consumer ...
How can I use code check: go
Just click on the website, the service is free. If a product is not there to be found, you can enter it yourself. I've tried it and could not be easier, you do not even have to check up on code for a user account (you can).
code check can be the way via mobile phone to call - I could not use this feature, since I am the owner of a decrepit mobile phones, the possibility but I find great because you can get information right there in the supermarket and not only home to the computer must run. My
Experience:
As already indicated, I am thrilled. Not so fantastic I found the balance of the products I use most regularly for years: all products from traditional brands have failed. My toothpaste contains two potentially cancer-causing substances in my shampoo you can find a cancer-causing Allergikum, a persistent chemical and petroleum, my shower gel also contains a Allergikum, my body lotion can not only trigger allergies but also cancer in the lip cream is oil and a carcinogen, my eyeliner is oil and contain chromium and my mascara has a hand-promoting allergy and other potentially affected to my ability to become pregnant, quite apart from the fact that it contains petroleum ... Very nice also to note that in my lip gloss is not just a lung cancer when inhaled, but is also a risk of poisoning if swallowed.
Of course I realize that we can react excessively paranoid and that people should not necessarily get cancer because you used Fructis Shampoo ... but must because such substances are used? are alternatives without all Chemiekram finally enough the code shows me check, and the reviews on the Internet sounded all happy. Many natural products could be found even around the corner in the DM, and so landed at the nearest shopping first ever body lotion, shampoo, shower gel and toothpaste in my basket all-natural products that I had "gecodecheckt" in advance. Until now I am completely satisfied with the purchases, although the brown toothpaste was a bit strange in the first 2 days. Of body and mouth odor, dry skin and so no trace. I expect that in the foreseeable future, Nivea, Balea, L'Oreal, Garnier, Dove and Colgate disappear completely from my bathroom and replaced by Weleda, Alverde, Lavera and Co..
Incidentally, the aforementioned toxic lip gloss is from DM-natural house brand Alverde ... and contributed BDIH seal of approval. As described above, you can not rely on this seal so-pity. There is no single, reliable seal it in this area as far as I unfortunately do not know. All the better so that you can make smart code to check.
