I am concerned about the metal that comes off of cast iron pans. I poured water out of the cast iron pan and it was muddy black tinted water. Is cast iron really safe? Should I use ceramic or something else instead?
Phenoxyethanol, how bad is it and at what quantity? I find most "natural" skin care products contain this in their ingredient listing as an alternative to parabens to preserve the product. But how safe is it?
Beata, Good question. You can find info on phenoxyethanol (and many other cosmetics ingredients) in EWG's Skin Deep database here: http://bit.ly/5u2MJ8. Hope that helps!
