Product versions

Manufacturers frequently make changes to their product ingredients, formulations or labeling, and older versions may still be on store shelves or in your home. When possible, EWG's Guide rates all available versions. It's important to read the label every time you shop, even though many labels don't offer complete information.

A certification by either Green Seal or EcoLogo improves the product score. Some products may carry other seals or symbols that have not been fully vetted by EWG or are not verified by independent audits, do not consider health impacts or are promoted by manufacturers rather than independent entities. We note those businesses that have some other certifications on company and product pages, but we do not use those statuses to score products.
