Safer Choice helps consumers, businesses, and purchasers find products that perform and contain ingredients that are safer for human health and the environment. Safer Choice is an EPA Pollution Prevention (P2) program, which includes practices that reduce, eliminate, or prevent pollution at its source, such as using safer ingredients in products.
When you see the Safer Choice label it means that product has passed the EPA's stringent criteria to earn Safer Choice Certification.
Every Ingredient Is Reviewed. Before a product can carry the Safer Choice label, the EPA's scientific team reviews all chemical ingredients.
Every single ingredient must meet strict safety criteria for both human health and the environment. Products cannot contain any ingredients of concern including carcinogens and reproductive or developmental toxicants. Even dyes and fragrances are screened for safety.

Labeled products must meet pH standards that minimize the potential for skin and eye irritation or injury.

REQUIREMENTS FOR
PRODUCTS INTENDED
FOR OUTDOOR USE
Certain products intended for use outdoors are likely to bypass sewage treatment, limiting the time for degradation prior to entering sensitive environments. For these products, Safer Choice has raised the bar in its standard environmental criteria to address the potential for immediate contact with aquatic life.
This additional certification means an outdoor product is certified as safer for use outdoors when used as directed.
