The Process
Safer Choice Approved Ingredients
Suppliers select a reviewer for ingredient assessment. The ingredient is reviewed to verify it meets EPA’s Safer Choice standards. Suppliers list their ingredients in CleanGredients, giving more visibility to their products.
Get Products to Market Faster
Formulators have access to a list of pre-approved Safer Choice ingredients. This streamlines the approval process for EPA’s Safer Choice program, getting your Safer Choice-labeled product to market faster.
Increased Consumer Options
A product bearing the Safer Choice label guarantees that every chemical has been reviewed and verified by third party experts.
Benefits for Formulators
