U.S. Safer Chemical Ingredients List

The U.S. Safer Chemical Ingredients List (SCIL) is a key component of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Safer Choice Program, designed to identify and promote chemical ingredients that are safer for human health and the environment. The list includes chemicals that have undergone rigorous evaluation by the EPA and meet the Safer Choice Criteria, making them suitable for various product categories such as cleaning products, personal care items, and industrial formulations. Companies using ingredients listed in the SCIL may apply for the Safer Choice Label, which helps enhance their products' market competitiveness and environmental profile.
