How we choose
- Simple and natural first The fewer ingredients the better. No fluoride, no artificial sweeteners, colors or flavors, no unnamed fragrance and no forever chemicals (PFAS). Read our standard.
- Ranked on what matters Each category is ranked on its own few measures, shown on its page with their weights and the research behind them. Every product shows its score on each one.
- Independent tests count most Every test is labeled by who paid for it. A seal is a floor, not a verdict, so we say what each one checks, and we link the certifier’s own listing or the lab report.
- What people ask We check the worries people raise online about each product and say what we found, including when a promoter is paid by the brand.
- Honest about gaps When we cannot confirm a claim, we say so instead of leaving it out.
- No sponsorships Nothing here is sponsored, paid for or influenced by a brand. Read how we’re funded and what we refuse.
- No affiliate deals Links go to the maker’s own page, or to a store’s own page, with no tracking codes and no commission.
- A choice at every budget Where a category allows, we list budget, mid-range and premium picks, and never a weaker product just to fill a price level. Each category page sorts by price, and every product lists the stores we found it at, with prices.
- Transparent sourcing Each page shows where its claims come from and when we last reviewed it. Prices are approximate.
- Verification pending When a product looks sound but we are still waiting on a certificate or test report from its maker, we list it, say exactly what we asked for, and mark it “Verification pending” until it arrives.
What the labels on each claim mean
- Verified We opened an independent record that confirms it: a certifier’s listing, a regulator’s list or a lab report. It is linked under Sources.
- Maker’s claim The maker says so on its own page or label. We read it but found no independent record.
- Not verified We looked and could not confirm it, or the maker does not say. Treat it as unknown.
