Consumer’s reach for cleaning products to rid their home of dirt and germs. In the process, consumers don’t want or expect exposure to harmful chemicals of concern like parabens, phthalates, formaldehyde, sulfates, and BPA with links to cancer and reproductive harm. Clean Label Project evaluates America’s best-selling cleaning products to help inform consumers what brands are formulating products with efficacy and safety in mind.

We then go into the marketplace and purchase the products from local, regional, and national grocery stores and online-retailers.
