How do we grade?
First of all, we don't evaluate/rate products; we focus on the ingredients and their worst properties.
A colour grading scale: different colours show how safe or harmful an ingredient is.
The ground rule: Although the grading is primarily based on the worst property of an ingredient, we can't forget about the positive aspects and contributions.
Sources: We believe in science! Our data comes from trusted sources and studies.
Relevancy: We’re human and we update accordingly to our possibilities. If you find outdated information, we will gladly adjust it.
