We care about trust and transparency when it comes to giving you supplements to support the wellness of you and your loved ones. That’s why we’re proud to have more Clean Label Project Certified products than any other vitamin brand! 

Using actual real retail sampling and testing, The Clean Label Project is establishing evidence-based benchmarks to identify the best products using real data and science.

But how exactly does this third-party testing work? The Clean Label Project's certification process involves several steps to ensure that brands meet their standards for transparency and quality. 

Let’s dive into their process to discover how a product earns the Clean Label Project certification.

Step 1: Application

Since certification is strictly voluntary, brands interested in certification submit an application to the Clean Label Project, indicating which products they would like to have certified.

Step 2: Documentation Review

The Clean Label Project reviews documentation provided by the brand, including ingredient lists, sourcing information, and manufacturing practices to ensure that they meet the initial compliance standards.

Step 3: Product Sampling

Next, The Clean Label Project collects samples of the brand's products for testing. Samples are typically collected from online or in-store retailers to ensure they are representative of products available to consumers.

Step 4: Testing for Contaminants

The samples then undergo testing for over 200 contaminants such as heavy metals, pesticides, plasticizers, and other harmful substances. The testing is conducted by third-party laboratories using validated methods.

Step 5: Review Label Accuracy

The Clean Label Project verifies the accuracy of the product labels, ensuring that the ingredients listed match what is actually in the product.

Step 6: Clean Label Certification Decision

Based on the documentation review, product testing results, and label accuracy verification, the Clean Label Project makes a decision on whether to certify the brand's products as Clean Label Project Certified.

Step 7: Certification Announcement

If the brand's products meet the Clean Label Project's standards, they are announced as Clean Label Project Certified. The brand is then able to display the Clean Label Project Certified seal on their products and marketing materials.

Step 8: Ongoing Monitoring

The Clean Label Project conducts ongoing monitoring of certified brands to ensure they continue to meet the organization's standards. This may include periodic testing of products and review of updated documentation.

By following this rigorous certification process, the Clean Label Project aims to provide consumers with assurance that certified brands are committed to transparency and quality in their products.
