Is The Honest Company non-toxic?

The Honest Company scores 75/100 (Grade B, low risk) on the NonToxicChecker assessment, supported by a clean FDA and CPSC record with zero recalls on file. The brand holds Leaping Bunny certification, its primary third-party credential, though ingredient transparency on its website remains incomplete and no major flagged ingredients have been detected in available product formulations.

Certifications

• Leaping Bunny

The Honest Company maintains a clean regulatory standing with no FDA warning letters, no CAERS contamination reports, and zero product recalls recorded by the CPSC. The brand has not been the subject of active or historic product-safety lawsuits in available records. However, the company does not provide full ingredient disclosure (INCI lists) on its website, which limits independent verification of formulation claims across its personal care portfolio. Fragrance disclosure policies are also not publicly documented, a common transparency gap in the personal care category. The brand's Leaping Bunny certification indicates third-party verification of cruelty-free manufacturing and supply-chain practices, a meaningful credential for consumers prioritizing animal welfare. The absence of flagged ingredients in sampled products and a clean enforcement record suggest low acute toxicity risk, though the incomplete ingredient data means some formulations have not been independently assessed. The company's regulatory standing does not indicate safety concerns, but transparency gaps prevent a higher confidence rating.

Flagged ingredients

No flagged ingredients surfaced by INCI parsing or the EWG Skin Deep database.
