Have you ever wondered if the product you pick up at a store to
slather on you or your child’s skin is safe? Today’s consumers must
go far beyond reading a label. We now require trusted and reliable
sources to keep us safe from marketing names and terms that sound
or look and environmentally friendly, but maybe anything but. Our
guest today, Amy Ziff, is the founder and Executive Director of
Nontoxic Certified & the MADE
SAFE® certification; America’s first comprehensive
certification program that screens out known toxic ingredients in
everything from baby and bedding to personal care products,
cosmetics, and cleaners. MADE SAFE was the first and only seal that
applies to all non-food consumer product categories. Their
banned list includes a rigorous 6,500 substances that are
prohibited in any product earning the coveted MADE SAFE
certification.
A mom and prior self-proclaimed weekend toxicologist and label
sleuth, Amy turned the industry on its head by demanding
accountability from the brands we should trust. Amy explains why we
can’t rely on the government to protect us and our families and
what you should look for and avoid to shop safely and stay
healthy.
