Testimonials

"MADE SAFE solves the problem of chemical confusion and makes it easy to find safe products."

— MARK HYMAN, MD 

"As makers (and of course consumers) of skin care products with higher standards, we’re grateful for the level of confidence MADE SAFE® Certified now gives us all. Their work creates a definitive line in the sand for our claim-loving industry. From now on, either a product is or is not MADE SAFE."

— TRUE BOTANICALS

"MADE SAFE is doing what the FDA should be doing."

— JON J. WHELAN, FILM DIRECTOR, STINK!

"Lab testing a product to examine how ingredients interact in mixture is revolutionary. In terms of green chemistry, which aims to reduce or eliminate hazardous substances in the formulation phase, it’s the end goal to find that the formulation in its totality doesn’t cause known harm to human health. What MADE SAFE is doing with its seal is facilitating the future of sustainable product formulation in this country."

— JOHN WARNER, PhD

"As a healthcare practitioner, part of the protocol I recommend to my clients is to remove all toxic substances from their life. We don’t even realize how many chemicals we put on and in our bodies. Whatever is placed on the skin is absorbed into the skin, whether it's cosmetics, body products, toothpaste, mouthwash or physician prescribed pharmaceuticals. In addition, we are bombarded by pollutants in the air, chemicals on our lawns, or toxic substances used to make our furniture and bedding nonflammable. The good news is that with great resources like MADE SAFE we can lessen our exposure and clean up toxins to keep our families safe and healthy. We need accurate information, and it’s very comforting to know there is a trusted resource."

— MARIA TABONE, MS, NUTRITION / AYURVEDA

"I salute Amy Ziff and MADE SAFE on their heroic work to educate America’s parents about toxic chemicals in everyday products. This work is vital to protect our children. We all need to support it."

— PHILIP LANDRIGAN, MD, PEDIATRICIAN + AUTHOR
