Each product is screened across two panels: a phthalate panel covering 18 phthalates, including DEHP, DBP, and BBP, and a bisphenol panel covering BPA, BPS, and BPF. Phthalate substitutes such as DEHT and DEHA are also reported when the laboratory panel includes them. These are plastic-derived chemicals known or suspected to be endocrine disruptors.

Single-sample testing can be misleading. PlasticList found that two samples of the same product differed in plastic-chemical levels by an average of 59% (relative percent difference). By sourcing three separate samples of each product, targeting different production lots, we show that variation instead of relying on one measurement.

All testing is performed by Light Labs, an ISO/IEC 17025-accredited laboratory. Phthalates and substitutes are measured by GC-MS/MS and bisphenols by LC-MS/MS. Our published methodology lists the complete analyte panel, units, detection-limit handling, and calculations.

No. We source all products anonymously through normal retail channels. This ensures results reflect what any consumer would encounter, not a hand-picked sample. After purchase, you submit your product list and we handle the rest.

Yes, by default. Results are published to the laboratory.love public testing database unless you opt out in writing before testing begins, and your personal information is never published. Published testing benefits all consumers and creates market pressure on manufacturers to audit their supply chains.

Results represent point-in-time measurements. Manufacturing processes, ingredient sourcing, and supply chains can change. We are transparent about this limitation — our reports include order and test dates where recorded so results can be interpreted with appropriate context.

Reports are typically delivered 6 to 8 weeks after your order is confirmed. That covers product sourcing from retail, shipping to the laboratory, triplicate analysis across both chemical panels, data verification, and report preparation. Timing is not guaranteed, and we will tell you about any delays.

Each product requires three separately sourced samples tested across two chemical panels — that is six individual lab tests per product. The cost covers ISO-accredited laboratory analysis, anonymous product acquisition, sample preparation, shipping, data verification, and reporting. Multi-product packages reduce the per-product cost significantly.

Sales are final once product sourcing begins. If we are unable to source or complete testing on a product for any reason, you receive a full refund for that product. We will work with you to select a replacement product if preferred.
