About NonToxic.com

Empowering consumers with transparent, science-based safety information to protect families from hidden chemical contamination in everyday products.

Our Mission

NonToxic.com was created to address a critical gap in consumer protection. While regulatory agencies struggle to keep pace with emerging chemical threats, families need immediate access to safety information about the products they use daily.

Our mission is simple: provide transparent, science-based safety ratings that empower consumers to make informed decisions and protect their families from harmful chemical exposure.

Transparency First

All data sources and methodologies are publicly available

Science-Based

Ratings based on peer-reviewed research and laboratory testing

Consumer Focused

Designed for families seeking safer product alternatives

The Problem We're Solving

Hidden Contamination

Microplastics and chemical additives are found in 46.3% of tested consumer products

Regulatory Gaps

Current safety standards don't adequately address emerging chemical threats

Information Asymmetry

Consumers lack access to comprehensive safety data when making purchasing decisions

Health Impact

Endocrine-disrupting chemicals pose particular risks to children and pregnant women

Our Scientific Methodology

Rigorous analysis based on laboratory testing and peer-reviewed research

🔬

Laboratory Testing

Products analyzed using advanced analytical chemistry techniques including GC-MS and LC-MS/MS

📊

Data Analysis

Statistical analysis of contamination levels compared to established safety thresholds

Safety Ratings

5-star rating system based on DEHP equivalents and total phthalate contamination

Rating Criteria

Chemical Analysis

  • • DEHP (Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate) levels
  • • DBP (Dibutyl phthalate) contamination
  • • BBP (Benzyl butyl phthalate) presence
  • • Total phthalate equivalents per serving
  • • Microplastic particle counts

Safety Thresholds

★★★★★ Excellent < 500 ng/serving
★★★★☆ Good 500-1,000 ng/serving
★★★☆☆ Moderate 1,000-2,000 ng/serving
★★☆☆☆ Poor 2,000-5,000 ng/serving
★☆☆☆☆ Dangerous > 5,000 ng/serving
