What Is EWG Verified®

EWG VERIFIED® means our products meet rigorous standards for health, ingredient transparency, and safety set by the Environmental Working Group (EWG), a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping consumers make healthier choices.

To earn this certification, we went through a detailed review process and met strict criteria, including full ingredient disclosure, compliance with EWG’s ingredient safety standards, and adherence to good manufacturing practices. The certification also requires ongoing compliance to help ensure that products continue to meet EWG’s high standards over time.

Why EWG Verified® Matters for Your Skin, Hair, and Body

Most skincare products are self-reported, which implies brands choose what to disclose, and nothing requires third-party review before a product reaches shelves. For products used daily and directly on skin and hair, cumulative exposure to unreviewed ingredients adds up. EWG Verified® means an independent team of scientists has reviewed the full formula against EWG's toxicology standards, so "clean" isn't just a claim on the label.
