EWG VERIFIED®: A New Standard for Your Health

Think all products are safe? Think again.

Most products on the market today are made with chemicals that were introduced several decades ago. Since then, scientists have found that many of these chemicals are related to cancer, asthma, birth defects and fertility problems. Some of these chemicals are in products we use every single day - our shampoo, our soap, our furniture, our mattresses. In many cases, manufacturers don't even have to list their ingredients on their packages or websites, so there's no way for you to know what you're really getting.

Since 1993, the Environmental Working Group has tracked chemical safety, and has called out bad chemicals and the companies that use them. We are the go-to resource for parents and consumers nationwide when it comes to choosing better products for their health and their homes. And we are proud of our role.

But enough is enough.

Why EWG VERIFIED®?

We started EWG VERIFIED® to drive companies to create healthier, safer products. We know there are companies that are concerned about rising cancer rates. Or about fertility challenges becoming increasingly common. Or about allergies impacting more of our young ones.

EWG VERIFIED® recognizes products that meet EWG's strictest standards for your health. This means none of EWG's chemicals of concern. This means full transparency. This means a mark you can trust. It means EWG approved.

Our ultimate goal is for all products on the market to be free from harmful chemicals, so that everyone's purchasing decisions can finally be stress free.

The New Standard

When you see the EWG VERIFIED® mark on a product, you will know that the product meets EWG's strictest criteria for transparency and health. When you see the mark, you can be confident that EWG VERIFIED products:

  • Avoid EWG’s ingredients of concern.

    Products cannot contain any ingredients on EWG’s list of “unacceptable” ingredients with health, ecotoxicity and/or contamination concerns.

  • Provide full transparency

    Products must meet EWG’s standards for ingredient disclosure on the label, provide full transparency to EWG, including about fragrance ingredients.

  • Are backed by science

    Program standards and criteria are created by EWG’s team of scientists, formulators and toxicologists.

Thank you for bringing awareness to this important topic. It's a shame how many harmful ingredients there are in our everyday products."
