Our most comprehensive standards yet.

We’ve expanded our ingredient standards to cover 10,000+ banned or restricted ingredients, including 3,000+ that are outright banned.

That means more ingredients you don’t have to worry about — across every room of your home.

3,000+ banned ingredients for a healthier home

Our standards are designed to reduce exposure to ingredients linked to common health concerns — especially in products used daily, on skin, or around kids and pets.

We ban or restrict ingredients linked to:

Hormone disruption

Including phthalates, parabens, PFAS, and certain synthetic musks.

Microplastics & long-term exposure

Restrictions on plastic content aimed at reducing exposure to microplastics and persistent polymers that don’t readily break down in the environment.

Skin sensitivity & allergies

Stricter limits on known irritants like formaldehyde donors, harsh sulfates, and fragrance allergens.

Indoor air & respiratory concerns

Bans and limits on ingredients commonly associated with respiratory irritation — including ammonia, chlorine, quats, and high-VOC solvents in cleaning and home products.

Hidden contaminants

Additional testing and tighter thresholds for heavy metals and impurities in sensitive categories like baby, food, wellness, and pet.

Informed by leading EU safety frameworks

Our ingredient standards are modeled after European chemical safety approaches — known globally for their precautionary, science-based rigor.

|In many categories, our standards go beyond baseline U.S. regulatory requirements by:

  • Setting stricter ingredient exclusions
  • Applying tighter limits where ingredients are allowed
  • Reviewing evolving scientific evidence as it emerges

Not just “clean” — comprehensively vetted

Many “clean” store programs rely on short exclusion lists — often limited to personal care. We apply one of the most expansive ingredient standards in retail, across every category we carry.
