The DfE Program provides a unique, highly protective approach to review and recognition of safer products. DfE evaluates each ingredient in a formulation based on critical health and environmental endpoints and within its functional class (e.g., fragrances, solvents, surfactants). The functional class context allows DfE to view ingredients as part of a continuum of improved or safer ingredient choices.
