A home is meant for rest, but it can often become a source of low-level chemical stress. We prioritize biological safety by identifying the hidden solvents, synthetic fragrances, and aggressive surfactants commonly found in household goods that fall short of a clean conscience. We categorize the label in each category by its degree of Integrity.
Gold Standard
MADE SAFE
Screening for 15,000+ toxins.
The most rigorous barrier available. Ensures that 15,000+ banned or restricted substances are kept out of your home.
EWG Verified
Screening for 1,600+ “Unacceptable” ingredients.
A trusted screening that confirms a product meets strict health criteria, bars 1,600+ prohibited substances, and demands full transparency.
Green Seal
Non-toxic foundation standards.
Ensures the household is not filled with synthetic fragrances, phthalates, or PFAS that compromise long-term air quality.
EPA Safer Choice
Refined synthetics.
A compromise. Better than supermarket brands, but still allows for lab-made synthetics that may not meet our strictest standards.

Biological Composition
The Impact
“Non-Toxic” Claims
Unregulated marketing term.
Legally meaningless without third-party verification. It is merely a company’s opinion of itself.
“Natural” Labels
Vague botanical origins.
A marketing trap. Botanical sources can be processed into harsh chemicals; always verify the full ingredient list for the household.
“Biodegradable” Claims
Unspecified breakdown time.
Often used for greenwashing. Without a strict timeframe, this label lacks a real standard for the household.

Biological Composition
The Impact

Undisclosed chemical cocktail.
A major breach of integrity. Can hide thousands of chemicals and serves as a primary source of indoor hormone disruption.

A hormone disruptor and thyroid saboteur that contributes to the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
Formaldehyde-Releasers
Preservatives (Quaternium-15)
A silent off-gasser. These chemicals slowly turn into formaldehyde—an embalming fluid—while sitting in your cabinet.

Polyethylene glycol 400 (PEG 400)
