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
  • 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.

The goal: no label-decoding required — just confidence in what comes into your home.
