PFAS chemicals are in an array of everyday items, like food wrappers and tap water – and in your body. And these “forever chemicals” have been linked to serious health effects.
Putting What Matters Most into Focus
It shouldn’t be hard to make informed, safe choices when you’re buying your favorite personal care products, drinking water or feeding your family.
But it is.
We know there’s a lot of noise around the issues we all care about. EWG conducts research and gathers information about consumer products, cosmetics, energy and toxic chemicals. To us, these aren’t just “current trends.” They’re essential elements for living good, healthy lives. We have the right to know what’s in these essential goods, and who's standing up for our public health.
Key Issues
Change the Code, Not the Climate
The ‘currency of the future’ is dragging us into the past when it comes to the urgent battle to save the climate.
All Areas of Focus

Everyone deserves access to safe and clean food and water. We push for tougher regulations to keep our food and water safe.
Farming & Agriculture
EWG works to find innovative ways to protect your health and environment while ensuring a sustainable future for America’s working farmers.
Personal Care Products
The last time personal care product safety laws were updated, it was the Great Depression. Now, a bipartisan effort plans to makeover cosmetics legislation.
