How the Tox-Screen Engine Works
The cosmetic, personal care, and dietary industries for children are shockingly under-regulated. In the United States, companies are legally allowed to use thousands of synthetic chemicals and highly processed additives in baby products without testing them for long-term developmental safety.
Worse, ingredient lists are printed in microscopic text using complex chemical nomenclature designed to confuse parents. Our Tox-Screen Engine cuts through the noise.
The Chemicals We Screen For
When you paste an ingredient list into the analyzer above, we instantly cross-reference those chemicals against data compiled from leading health organizations, including the Environmental Working Group (EWG). We aggressively flag:
- Phthalates (Fragrance): Known endocrine disruptors that alter hormonal development in infants.
- PFAS (Forever Chemicals): Used for water resistance or stain resistance, these accumulate in the body and environment.
- High Fructose Corn Syrup: A highly processed artificial sugar substitute linked to childhood metabolic issues.
- Artificial Food Dyes: Petroleum-derived dyes (like Red 40 or Yellow 5) linked to developmental and behavioral issues.
If the Tox-Screen catches any of these offenders, we immediately provide you with verified, third-party certified alternatives out of our database so you can shop safely and efficiently.
