The verdict scale

Horrible

Poor

Fair

Good

Excellent

Ranked on ingredient safety alone: each product’s safety representative across the raters that scored it. Never a blended overall (your weights build that, live, on each product page), never affiliate payout, never price. A clearance from a sparse authority list is a screen, not a score, and does not rank; a product whose ingredient list we cannot trust has its computed scores withheld and does not qualify. Open any card to see who rates it, who funds them, and where they disagree.
