EWG Verified® Certification

Will more products be EWG Verified® in the future? 

The EWG Verified® Mark is the beginning of a long-term journey. Norwex will continue to verify products, with plans to include both Personal Care and Home Care products. More details to come.

Benefits of this verification? 

The EWG Verified® Mark provides extra confidence to you that they’re receiving safer products that are truly clean and free from harmful chemicals. Having a third-party organization like EWG put their “stamp of approval” on our products allows you to not just take my word or the word of Norwex for it but to also hear it from a credible outside source. 

How does this compare to USDA Biobased Certification? 

EWG Verified® focuses on the safety & health impacts of all ingredients in a product, ensuring they are free from harmful substances like endocrine disruptors and carcinogens. 

USDA Biobased Certification measures the percentage of biobased (renewable carbon-based) content in a product’s ingredients. It highlights the use of natural, renewable materials that contribute to sustainability but does not evaluate ingredient safety or toxicity. 

In short, EWG Verified prioritizes human health, while USDA Biobased Certification emphasizes renewable, natural ingredient content.

Will EWG verification affect the price of these products? 

No, prices will not increase with this certification.

Did any formulas change? 

No, the original formulas were submitted to EWG for review and approved
