Why we test

The most widely used herbicide in the world, and the subject of an active safety debate. because many of our ingredients are plant-derived, we verify none carries through from sprayed crops.

Why we test

Crop residues can carry through from the field into plant-based ingredients. we screen a broad panel so what is sprayed does not end up in your laundry.

Why we test

1,4-dioxane is a manufacturing byproduct, not an ingredient, so it never appears on a label even when it is present. in 2024 the epa determined it poses an unreasonable risk to human health, with concerns that include cancer, liver damage, and harm to the tissue involved in smell. it forms while the surfactants in many soaps and detergents are made, so a label cannot tell you whether it is there. a lab test can, so we run one.

Why we test

Phthalates are common plasticizers and fragrance carriers, and several are on california's prop 65 list for reproductive concerns. they are rarely disclosed, so we screen the whole family.

Why we test

Pfas ("forever chemicals") are persistent synthetic compounds that accumulate in the body and environment.
