CLEANGREDIENTS > STEERING COMMITTEE
Suppliers create an ingredient record in CleanGredients and enter self-reported ingredient information.
CLEANGREDIENTS > HOW IT WORKS
Suppliers submit additional information to a third-party reviewer for evaluation against CleanGredients criteria and the DfE Screen.
CLEANGREDIENTS > HOW IT WORKS
The third-party reviewer enters key human and environmental health data into CleanGredients and indicates DfE Screen results.
CLEANGREDIENTS > HOW IT WORKS
Formulators search CleanGredients and select ingredients for use in cleaning products.
CLEANGREDIENTS > HOW IT WORKS
For formulators who seek U.S. EPA DfE recognition…
CLEANGREDIENTS > HOW IT WORKS
The DfE Screen for Safer Chemical Ingredients identifies preferred ingredients.
CLEANGREDIENTS > HOW IT WORKS
Formulators use CleanGredients and the DfE Screen to select ingredients for their products.
CLEANGREDIENTS > HOW IT WORKS
Formulators submit product information to a third-party reviewer for DfE formula profiling.
CLEANGREDIENTS > HOW IT WORKS
Products that meet DfE criteria are eligible for DfE Partnership and recognition.
