The Skin Deep® scoring system was designed to help the public understand whether a product is safe to use or whether it contains ingredients of concern. Every product and ingredient in Skin Deep gets a two-part score – one for hazard and one for data availability.
The Healthy Cleaning ingredient hazard score, from A to F, reflects known and suspected hazards linked to the ingredients. The EWG VERIFIED ® mark means a product meets EWG’s strictest criteria for transparency and health.
