We list each product as the brand describes it. Brands can change their products and pages, so please check the details on the brand’s own site before you buy.
What the labels mean
Each status shows the evidence it rests on: an independent test, a brand lab report, a certificate, the material itself, a brand claim, or no information. A dash means we found nothing from the brand, a test or a certificate. “Recommended” means a source says the product is free from it, the label is not “No information”, and no test or brand source contradicts it. A brand claim is the brand’s own words; we quote them exactly.
