Our Product Rating System

Our Product Rating System

First, Camille (co-creator of Welpr) hand picks cleaner product options from a variety of sources.

Next, we collect information about each product's safety, consumer satisfaction, and eco-ethical standing.

Finally, we run all this information through an algorithm that calculates the Welpr Rating.

Welpr Rating:

5.0/5

The Welpr Rating takes into account 3 things:

  1. Product Safety
  2. Consumer Satisfaction
  3. Ethics & Environment
Product safety

Part 1: Product safety

We evaluate safety information from 3rd party organizations (e.g. EWG, Made Safe, etc.). Instead of relying solely on any one of these companies for safety information, we assess all of them.

Consumer satisfaction

Part 2: Consumer satisfaction

We scour the web for consumer ratings and reviews to verify products are not only cleaner options, but also effective. Products can either be Above Average, Average, or Below average for their respective category (e.g. cleaning products).

Ethics & Environment

Part 3: Ethics & Environment

When you buy a product, you’re supporting that company with your dollars. We believe it’s important to support ethical companies, so we pool together certifications that verify a company's ethics and environmental impact.

Common Harmful Chemicals in Lip Plumper

Chemical Name

Why it’s harmful

Mica

Mica, a natural mineral dust, is commonly used in makeup, cement, asphalt, and electric cable insulation. It is a color additive in cosmetics and provides a shimmer effect in foundations. Workers exposed to mica, especially in muscovite mills, face health risks like respiratory problems and lung scarring from long-term inhalation. Labels may list "Mica" or "Muscovite." Regulatory agencies have established exposure limits for worker safety.

Pentaerythrityl Tetra Adipate

Pentaerythrityl Adipate/Caprate/Caprylate/Heptanoate is a mixed ester compound derived from pentaerythritol and various acids such as adipic, capric, caprylic, and heptanoic acids. This ingredient is commonly found in products like lipstick, foundation, blush, bronzer/highlighter, and lip balm.

Calcium Aluminum Borosilicate

Calcium aluminum borosilicate, a glass-type material, serves as a bulking agent in the cosmetics and personal care industry. It enhances volume and texture in formulations, generally considered safe with low toxicity and no known cancer-causing properties. Although it's generally safe, individual sensitivities can differ, so patch tests are recommended for those with allergies. Regulatory classification includes a possibility of being carcinogenic and possibly toxic to reproduction, but it is deemed safe for cosmetic use, with concentration or use restrictions.

Alpha-Tocopherol Acetate

Tocopheryl acetate is a compound composed of acetic acid and tocopherol (vitamin E). Alpha-tocopheryl acetate (ATA), a specific form of vitamin E, is commonly found in skincare products and dietary supplements. It is used in various cosmetics and personal care items, including lipstick, eye shadow, blushers, face powders, moisturizers, bath soaps, hair conditioners, and more.

Butylated Hydroxytoluene

BHT, a toluene-based ingredient, serves as a preservative in food and personal care products. Safety assessments have noted toxic effects in lung tissue when BHT was applied to rats' skin but considered the low concentrations in cosmetics safe. The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) suggests moderate evidence of BHT being a respiratory irritant in humans.

Hey, I’m Camille—co-creator of Welpr and your go-to guide for all things clean living. After selling my last company in the health food space, I went non-toxic to heal an autoimmune condition. It did wonders for my health, but navigating which products to buy wasn’t easy. We built Welpr to make that journey feel a bit easier.  When I’m not working on Welpr, you’ll usually find me in the sauna, sipping a raw milk latte while doing a puzzle, or walking with my pit bull Romeo in my hometown of Austin, TX.
