How we check
Sources
Every rating, certification badge, and safety claim on SafeMama traces back to one of these sources. We don't re-test products in a lab — we tell you who did, what they found, and how to verify it yourself.

We don't display certifier logos here — using a mark without that organization's permission is a trademark risk, not a design choice.
