We are familiar with this Web site and have given it careful consideration. USANA signed the Compact for Safe Cosmetics in 2005 to show our commitment to safety, though we do have some concerns being connected to its corresponding sites. We cannot officially endorse these Web sites and politically motivated information contained on the sites. We are also not in full agreement with the science and analysis behind them. For example, its database rates known allergens like comfrey and other herbs as no risk, while synthetic ingredients in general are rated adversely. It also assigns hazards to minerals and other ingredients that have no relevance to the way they are used in personal care products. As such, we would not recommend using these sites to promote our products.
USANA reviews all relevant and necessary materials and research when formulating products to ensure safety, efficacy and compatibility. Because of our thorough research upfront and testing of final products by licensed dermatologists and ophthalmologists, our customers can be assured that we have done our due diligence with regard to safety and efficacy.
