Why we're different.

Our team of experts researches ingredient safety information and peer-reviewed studies to find out which ingredients should be avoided. Unlike other product safety organizations, every product on Better Goods is human-reviewed for ingredient safety, rather than a simple automated rating done by an algorithm.

We believe in transparency when it comes to ingredient safety. On our website, you can find detailed information on every product, including the full list of ingredients and a breakdown of which are safe and which should be avoided. We also include additional notes to help provide context for why certain ingredients may not be recommended.
