The Winners: Congratulations to the July Impact Sleuth Challenge Winners, who each won a Desert Essence Body Care Kit: Jane Darcovich of Oak Park, IL; Rebecca Lawrence of Arlington, VA; Amy Ito of Lakewood, CO; Jaqueline Watson of Holyoke, MA; and Drew Giffin of Loveland, CO. Congrats and Enjoy!

This Month's Challenge: Seeing as the average woman applies more than 200 chemicals to her face every day (wowza!), choosing organic, chem-free, eco-friendly body care products should be a no-brainer. According to this Ideal Bite Tip, what percentage of the more than 10,500 ingredients used in personal care products have actually been screened for safety?

The Prize: Freshen up organically with a Desert Essence Organics Body Care Kit . Dessert Essence Organics is a 100% vegan, wheat- and gluten-free line, using only all-natural, pesticide free ingredients: good for you and the planet! (retail value: $9.99) Many thanks to Desert Essence for sponsoring this month's challenge and prize!

The Answer: Only 11% of the more than 10,500 ingredients used in personal care products have been screened for safety.

Thanks to everyone who participated- look for a new Sleuth Challenge next month!
