How we rank health & wellness
Every product earns an ethics score from 0–100 based on third-party certifications (B Corp, Leaping Bunny, USDA Organic, Fair Trade, etc.), ingredient and material safety, supply-chain transparency, packaging sustainability, and brand-level practices. We do not accept payment for placement — rankings are derived entirely from the underlying data.
Before you buy
Start with suitability, then compare the evidence. These checks are questions to investigate, not promises that every product in this ranking meets them.
- Check active ingredient amounts, allergens and interactions with a qualified clinician where relevant; ethical scores do not establish medical effectiveness.
- Distinguish product testing from brand certification and ask for batch-specific testing when purity is an important requirement.
- For vegan preferences, check capsules and excipients as well as the headline active ingredient.
What the ranking does—and does not—tell you
The ethics score is a comparison of the information recorded in our catalogue, not a customer star rating, safety test or complete lifecycle assessment. Check the individual product's sources, certificate scope and current retailer details before deciding.
