Chemistry breakdown
Bar length = weight in the Personal care formula · color = that component's score · tap a name to learn what it means.
Endocrine disruptorsnone listed · 35% weight
Chemicals that can interfere with the body's hormone system — the signals that regulate growth, metabolism and reproduction. Exposure matters most during pregnancy and early childhood, which is why this component carries extra weight in baby products. Common examples under study: certain parabens, phthalates and bisphenols.
Carcinogensnone listed · 25% weight
Ingredients that authoritative bodies (IARC, US NTP) have classified as known or suspected causes of cancer, weighted by the strength of that evidence — 'possibly carcinogenic' is treated very differently from 'known'.
PFASno PFAS listed · 15% weight
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances — 'forever chemicals' that persist in the body and environment for years. Used for water- and stain-resistance; linked in studies to immune and developmental effects.
Certifications9/10 · 15% weight
Independent third-party verifications (USDA Organic, FSC, EPA Safer Choice…). Informational only — having none never lowers a score; verified claims can raise it.
Fragrance opacityno fragrance listed · 10% weight
US law lets 'fragrance' stand in for dozens of undisclosed chemicals as a trade secret. This measures how much of the scent formula is hidden — not that fragrance is inherently harmful, but that you can't evaluate what isn't disclosed.
