About EWG VERIFIED™ and Skin Deep®: Skin Deep® is an educational tool for consumers which rates ingredients in personal care products. EWG VERIFIED™ goes beyond ingredient labels by taking into account other criteria and offering the EWG VERIFIED™ mark for those products that meet the criteria. The mark is a quick and easily identifiable tool for consumers to identify products that meet these rigorous criteria at the point of sale.
EWG's Skin Deep® rates products based on ingredients, an important indication to help determine the potential health concerns associated with products. EWG VERIFIED™ takes the Skin Deep® rating system one step further – by also asking companies to submit significantly more detailed information to help confirm that companies are making full disclosure to their consumers, that their products are adequately preserved and free of contaminants, and that manufacturing processes meet EWG's rigorous criteria. Before a company is allowed to use the EWG VERIFIED™ mark, it must meet all of our criteria and provide additional information not found on the label – an effort to drive the market toward greater transparency.
