Product Safety

For over 181 year, your safety and the safety of your world has been at the heart of what we do. That’s why we have a team of more than 500 scientists and professionals and a rigorous products safety process to analyze every ingredient—before we ever consider putting it in one of our products . Safety is at the heart of everything we do. Before we market a new product, we go beyond regulatory compliance to ensure every ingredient’s safety through a four-step, science-based process. We use the same process as regulatory agencies around the world, like US FDA, EPA, the EU, the WHO, and others.

Natural Product Ingredients

Some people believe that natural product ingredients are safer to use than man-made, synthetic ones. The reality is that it’s not that simple; both natural and synthetic ingredients have a safe and unsafe range . That said, we know that some people prefer to use natural product ingredients, so we are working to provide more products with elements that are naturally sourced. While natural product ingredients may be appealing, we also have to confirm they are safe to use in P&G products. Some people also expect natural product ingredients to be more sustainable because they use less energy to source and require fewer resources.
