Verdict: Clean.

Lead, cadmium, mercury and arsenic were reported non-detect in the tested balm. The result is published by Lead Safe Mama with a linked laboratory report. This is the only product in this comparison with reported non-detect results for all four metals, which is the basis for its Clean tier. The report covers the tested sample, not every batch or every product from this brand. The result does not establish the absorbed dose or the health effects of using this product. The manufacturer lists olive oil, beeswax, water, limestone and vitamin E for the balm. This is a different product from its diapering lotion.
