A flame retardant the maker names that isn't built on chlorine or bromine and isn't on CertiPUR-US's list, such as triphenyl phosphate.
Watched ingredients get highlighted on every product panel you open.
- Where it comes from
- Synthesized, then added to foam, fabric or plastic.
- Why it's in the product
- Slows ignition so the foam or fabric meets a flammability standard.
- Safety and toxicity
- Not one of the kinds we'd avoid, but an added chemical worth knowing by name, and the flag is a heads-up, not a finding. GOTS, the organic textile standard, prohibits chlorinated, brominated, listed phosphate, antimony and borate flame retardants in the textiles it certifies.
- Interactions and who should be careful
- "No flame retardants" is a claim, and a flame retardant the maker doesn't name reads as Undisclosed material.
