How products are chosen

The test

A deodorant is shown here only when it passes the same ingredient checklist as non-toxic-deodorant.com (no aluminium compounds, parabens, phthalates, triclosan or triclocarban, or fragrance/parfum) and its ingredient list has ten entries or fewer. "Clean" has no regulatory meaning: this is our definition, and it says nothing about how an individual reacts to an ingredient.

Sources

Each page uses the maker's product page plus at least one further source we actually opened, and shows the date checked. We leave out products we cannot confirm are currently sold.

No invented rankings

We do not publish scores that have not been earned. Products our editor has tested hands-on get an Editor's Choice call-out and are listed as the Best; no product carries that label until it has been tested. We do not accept payment for placement, and the facts on each product page come from the maker's own page and at least one other source.
