Independent testing & contaminants

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.

No independent testing on file. 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. See the methodology page for what testing does and doesn't exist across the category.
