Our nonprofit organization provides America’s first comprehensive human health-focused certification for nontoxic products across store aisles, from baby to personal care to household and beyond. Our goal is to change the way products are made in this country to ultimately eliminate the use of toxic chemicals altogether. We make it easy for people to find and buy products made without known toxic chemicals, give companies a road map for making safe products, and make it easy for retailers to select products that aren’t known to cause harm. MADE SAFE screens ingredients against our Toxicant Database of known harmful chemicals, which is made up of thousands of chemicals found on scientifically authoritative lists from organizations and agencies around the world. We then go above and beyond to examine ingredients for bioaccumulation, persistence, and general and aquatic toxicity. MADE SAFE™ screens ingredients in products for known: Behavioral toxins Carcinogens Developmental toxins Endocrine disruptors Fire retardants GMOs Heavy metals Neurotoxins Pesticides / Insecticides / Herbicides Reproductive toxins Toxic solvents Harmful VOCs NONTOXIC CERTIFIED™ products have passed MADE SAFE and gone on to be lab-tested as a whole for known: Behavioral toxins Carcinogens Developmental toxins Endocrine disruptors Fire retardants Heavy metals Neurotoxins Pesticides / Insecticides / Herbicides Reproductive toxins Toxic solvents Harmful VOCs Nanoparticles   Amy Ziff, Founder and Executive Director Amy is a healthy living educator with a genetic predisposition to toxicity. She’s also mom to three young kids who share the same trait. Determined to make the world less toxic, Amy reached millions of parents and caregivers with her “buy better” advocacy campaigns. She blogs about the chemical world we live in on Amy Ziff’s NoTox Life, and prior to founding Nontoxic Certified, taught classes on living a nontoxic life and co-founded the Veritey Shop, a site comprised of safe, nontoxic products.
