Help EWG discover which personal care products are really safe for kids

The Environmental Working Group site has become my personal go-to site any time I have a question about the safety of skin care products and other environmental concerns. They perform exhaustive, comprehensive studies on so many important topics. Now they are working on a new children's health study and they need the input from parents like YOU. Amanda writes:

This summer, EWG is digging in to the safety of children's personal care products (shampoo, diaper cream, bubble bath and the like) to give you our researchers' recommendations on the best children's products on the market -- and to help fill gaps in a system that doesn't require companies to test products before they're sold.
We're asking parents to help us by filling out a brief survey on the products they use on their children.  We're looking for at least 1,000 responses over the next two weeks that will let us take a detailed look at children's day-to-day exposures, from the chemicals in their baths to the products on their hair and skin and even their bottoms.
A couple minutes of your time filling out the EWG survey will bring heightened public awareness of unsafe toxins and chemicals in certain products and hopefully encourage consumers to stop buying them. (And ultimately force the manufacturers to stop producing them.) Every voice counts, so please make yours heard!
