You CAN Handle the Truth

Find Safe, Healthy and Green Products with GoodGuide

Who would have guessed that Gerber and Beech-Nut food ranks higher than Earth’s Best on safety and environmental impact? Or that a plastic Fisher-Price Chatter phone beat out a wooden HABA toy?

If you’re like most moms, you have the occassional freak-out about the true meaning of “organic,” “all natural” and “non-toxic” labels, but without a PhD, making sense of it all can be an exercise in frustration.

Enter GoodGuide.com. With over 70,000 food, personal care, toys, and household product reviews, it’s easy to look beyond the label and comparison shop for the safest, most eco-friendly items. With origins in a UC Berkeley research project, GoodGuide is strictly science based and has no commercial affiliations whatsoever.

And iPhone owners rejoice. GoodGuide is available as a mobile app so you can easily browse ratings even as you shop. That’s right, anything that makes life this simple, has got to be good.
