What does the EPA’s – DfE logo represent?
- This mark allows consumers to quickly identify and choose products that can help protect the environment and are safer for families.
- When you see the DfE logo on a product it means that the DfE scientific review team has screened each ingredient for potential human health and environmental effects and that—based on currently available information, EPA predictive models, and expert judgment—the product contains only those ingredients that pose the least concern among chemicals in their class.
- Product manufacturers who become DfE partners, and earn the right to display the DfE logo on recognized products, have invested heavily in research, development and reformulation, to ensure that their ingredients and finished product line up on the green end of the health and environmental spectrum, while maintaining or improving product performance.”
- EuroSpa liquid soaps are made with sodium coco sulfate which is a natural coconut derivative, and is considered to be a safer alternative to SLS. It’s less irritating than sodium laurel sulfate and does not contain the cancerous byproducts that have been associated with sodium laureth sulfate.

Why DfE Approved Fragrances & Dyes?
