Elevate Your Brand with
Science-Backed Proof

The beauty and personal care market has a trust problem. Consumers are increasingly skeptical of “dermatologist tested”, “clinically proven”, and “clean” claims that lack real evidence. The Clean Sheet exists to solve this.

India's first independent, science-backed beauty and personal care certification system. Verify your formulation, safety data, and claims through rigorous independent review.

01

See It Live

Every certified product gets two live pages: one for consumers and one for technical reviewers. Here's what they look like.

02

Why Certify with The Clean Sheet?

Unshakeable Consumer Trust

Move from marketing claims to verifiable proof. Consumers scan your QR code and see exactly what makes your product safe and effective.

Global Readiness

Our standard is built on major global regulatory frameworks (CDSCO, EU SCCS, US FDA, ISO). Certification prepares your product dossier for international markets.

Stand Out in the Market

A Clean Sheet badge differentiates your product as one that has passed rigorous, independent, scientific scrutiny.

Actionable Feedback

Even if a product doesn't pass immediately, you receive a detailed technical assessment to help you improve your formulation, testing, or documentation.

03

What We Evaluate

We evaluate the entire product across five rigorous dimensions.

01

Legal Compliance

Are all ingredients legally permitted in your target markets? This is a pass/fail prerequisite.

VERIFIED
02

Ingredient Safety

Are your ingredients safe at their exact concentrations, for your target consumers?

VERIFIED
03

Manufacturing Quality

Are your GMP compliance, batch testing, and manufacturing records up to international standards?

VERIFIED
04

Claims & Evidence

Is every marketing claim backed by product-specific, robust evidence?

VERIFIED
05

Ethics & Sustainability

Do you have the evidence for your cruelty-free, natural, organic, or sustainability claims?

VERIFIED

“We don't just look at an ingredient list. We evaluate the entire product: formulation, safety, manufacturing, claims, and ethics.”

We check if any documents are missing. If so, you have 20 days to provide them.

Our independent panel of cosmetic chemists, toxicologists, and claims specialists rigorously evaluates your product across all 5 pillars.

Common Questions

Yes, we need exact concentrations to calculate safety margins. However, your formula is strictly confidential, protected by a robust NDA, and never published. Consumers only see the standard INCI list and verified active ranges.

Our pre-assessment will identify exactly what testing is missing. You can then commission these tests from our network of accredited labs.

Your proof page will honestly state which claims were verified and which were not. This transparency is exactly what builds long-term consumer trust.
