EWG HAZARD
Low
Learn about EWG Scores Understanding the EWG rating EWG Skin Deep® uses a 1–10 hazard scale based on known and suspected hazards associated with an ingredient. Lower scores indicate a lower hazard rating: 1–2 Low 3–6 Moderate 7–10 High The rating is a useful reference point, but it is not a complete safety assessment. It does not take into account factors such as concentration, exposure or individual sensitivity. Lupito considers EWG information alongside other relevant research and safety information when selection ingredients for our dog-care formulations.
