MADE SAFE® Certified

The MADE SAFE® certification process is rigorous, scientific, and independent. Products seeking the MADE SAFE seal are screened to ensure that over 6,500 banned and restricted substances have been avoided or constrained, thereby eliminating the worst hazards commonly found in products used in our homes every day. It requires manufacturing transparency, including the disclosure of each substance and process involved in the formulation, going far beyond basic ingredient list reviews to assess for broader impact. 

Companies must gather and submit extremely detailed ingredient information and specifications as part of the comprehensive screening process. This 360-degree evaluation is what makes MADE SAFE® certification incredibly stringent. Every substance submitted is considered in the context in which it will be used, and must pass the entire screening process for the MADE SAFE seal to be granted for use on a given product.

MADE SAFE®, a program of Nontoxic Certified, is the only human health and ecosystem-focused product certification program for household products. Its mission is to revolutionize how consumer products are made, thereby eliminating the use of harmful chemicals from the marketplace to ensure a safe and sustainable future for all. MADE SAFE® is defined by science and goes beyond claims like “clean,” “green,” “natural,” and “eco” that aren’t defined and can mean many different things.  With MADE SAFE®, we can eliminate toxic chemicals from consumer products, even in the absence of regulation.

The chemicals not in our products are just as important as the ingredients we do use. Every MADE SAFE® certified product is thoroughly screened and 100% of registered ingredients are vetted to ensure they’re made without known behavioral toxins, carcinogens, developmental toxins, endocrine disruptors, synthetic flame retardants, heavy metals, neurotoxins, high-risk pesticides, reproductive toxins, toxic solvents, or harmful VOCs. MADE SAFE® additionally screens ingredients further for bioaccumulation, environmental persistence, general ecosystem harm, and aquatic and terrestrial toxicity.

Ingredient disclosure and transparency are the cornerstone of our business. We list every ingredient on the front label of each product and on our website. Our ingredients page lists the technical name, chemical identification (CAS number), country of origin, and additional information for every ingredient we use, including scents.

All our products are made from a short list of ingredients including baking soda, washing soda, sodium percarbonate, various forms of soap made from coconut and sunflower oil, and glycerin formed as a byproduct of soapmaking.
