Flags-4 points in all

1 flagged ingredient.

Avoid first. Each flag costs points in the score above; where a flag has an entry behind it, it links to the evidence.

Caution-4

Undisclosed material

The maker doesn't say what this part is made of, so there is nothing to look up; the flag is about the missing name, not a known hazard.

Third-party lab findings for things that never appear on an ingredient label. This is separate from the score above and does not change it.

We haven't found published third-party lab results (PFAS, heavy metals, phthalates) for this product. That is not a clean bill of health, just an absence of data.

This page was corrected once.

  • Oct 16, 2026 Panel Score 94 → 90: added a caution for Undisclosed material. Until October 16, 2026 we read “Proprietary natural malodor counteractant” as a marketing claim. It is an additive Naturally Fresh doesn't name, so it now carries the caution for a material the maker doesn't name, which is about the missing name, not a known hazard.
