Certification Extensions

MADE WISE Extensions

  • The Supplement Standard is an extension of the MADE WISE Certified program where we screen dietary supplements using a science-based framework focused on eliminating harmful substances. MADE WISE Supplements raise the bar on ingredient safety and transparency by reviewing intentionally added substances against the MADE Banned List, which includes more than 15,000 substances of concern. While supplements can offer valuable health benefits, many products on the market include substances that raise serious questions about purity, transparency, and long-term safety.

MADE SAFE Extensions

  • The Pregnancy Standard is an extension of the MADE SAFE certification. It adds another layer of scrutiny identifying whether any substance in a product is known or suspected to pose a risk to pregnant individuals, either through potential harm to maternal health or fetal development. MADE SAFE’s Pregnancy Standard is a meaningful tool for helping individuals make informed decisions during one of life’s most important and sensitive stages.

  • MADE SAFE Certified Furniture extension is built from safer baseline materials and carefully screened to help avoid materials that raise concerns for human health or the environment. Its evaluation goes far beyond visible surfaces to examine construction choices that can drive exposure, including cushion and fill material, textiles and treatments, finishes and coatings, adhesives, and other interior components you may never see.

    See Furniture Approved Guidance
  • MADE SAFE Certified Textiles extension applies the Ecosystem Screening process to the materials and manufacturing inputs used in textile products. It looks beyond the primary fibers to also evaluate dyes, pigments, finishes, processing aids, and other inputs used during production. Consideration is given to potential manufacturing and supply chain contaminants as well. This extension also requires material sourcing, disclosures on any genetic engineering all as part of the full material disclosure. In totality, this provides a comprehensive look at how a textile product is made and whether the entirety complies—even for things that aren't clearly listed on a label.
