Eco-Products Review, Is Eco-Products Non-Toxic?
PFAS Authority is a scoring system, not a laboratory. We do not test products ourselves. Grades are model-based, built from published ingredients, materials, certifications, brand disclosures and third-party lab results where they exist. See the rubric.
Across 14 graded products, Eco-Products averages Good (65/100). On disclosure, the brand claims its products are PFAS-free (self-declared). 9 of its products grade Good or better. Grades are model-based estimates, not lab results.
