Are you tired of all the misleading and contradicting information about ingredients in your cosmetics and skincare products? Then, follow Personal Care Truth. The blog was created a few months ago by Lisa M. Rodgers, founder of Cactus & Ivy and Kristin Fraser Cotte, founder of The Grapeseed Company. These ladies have been researching cosmetic ingredients for years in order to offer great quality products to their customers and are now joined by a panel of experts to set the record straight about all the myths and twisted truths about cosmetics and personal care products.
All the information about ingredients posted on Personal Care Truth is based on scientific studies and research not on fear mongering tactics. In addition, on the blog, you’ll also find lots of useful information on the legislation of cosmetics, the science behind your personal care products and news from the beauty industry. Their purpose is to educate consumers, not scare them off and I think they are doing a great job! So, go check out Personal Care Truth now!

I’m going to add that one to my rss but I must admit that I am somewhat weary of site’s saying they’re telling the thruth when the founders have financial interests in the so-called thruth.
It’s like when the tobaccco-companies launch sites about the dangers of smoking, you know that what’s published is filtered more than their smoke.

Lisa, to be honest I was a bit weary of this blog at first. I tend to be weary of everything I read online and when you know the authors have financial interest in the field, I think it’s important not to believe everything and do your own research to see if you can trust them. I’ve been following this blog for a few months now and so far, I find that all the info they posted is pretty spot-on. They always cite their sources (usually scientific stuidies and journals) so one can have a look at them and see if they are reliable and they are.
Giorgia – Thank you for the blog love and spreading the news! Educating consumers is ‘in’ and scare tactics are ‘out’.
Lisa – I can appreciate your reluctance, however, I assure you that the goal of Personal Care Truth is to education consumers with the facts. Kristin and I do not promote brands on PCT, not even our own. PCT isn’t about brands. It’s about personal care product ingredients, legislation, regulations and more importantly, the science. Consumers deserve truthful information to make an informed decision. Not fear mongering and scare tactics.
