True Botanicals is Sorette Approved

Our formulas are independently evaluated through Sorette’s transparency framework evaluating our ingredient sourcing, testing, and screening against substances their standards identify as potential concerns during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Held to the Highest Standard

Sorette screens specifically for substances tied to reproductive, developmental, or endocrine harm during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Our formulas meet their No-Go List™, as independently evaluated by their Scientific Advisory Board of practicing OB-GYNs, dermatologists, and toxicologists.

Put to the Test

  • Information Gathering

    Sorette begins by collecting detailed information about every formula: from ingredient composition and sourcing to manufacturing practices and supporting documentation.

  • Category-Specific Evaluation

    Each product is assessed against Sorette's category-specific framework, designed around how it's used, who it's for, and the considerations most relevant to that stage of life.

  • Independent Review

    Sorette's team reviews every submission for transparency, consistency, and alignment with its standards, working closely with brands to validate information and clarify any questions.

  • Ongoing Accountability

    Brands confirm formulations annually, and Sorette may re-evaluate or revoke approval if a formula or supporting information changes.

FAQs

Which True Botanicals products are Sorette Approved?

Right now, Mindful Mama Belly & Body Oil carries the Sorette Seal of Approval along with 37 other products. As we bring more formulas through Sorette's review process, we'll update the list.

What does it mean for a product to be "Sorette Approved"?

It means a formula has been independently reviewed against Sorette's Standards, including a screen for substances known or suspected to be hazardous during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Also non-negotiable: disclosing formulations down to every fragrance component, not just noting the presence of fragrance.

How does Sorette evaluate a brand's formulas?

We submit our complete formulations for review, alongside how our products are tested and where our ingredients are sourced. Sorette screens everything against their No-Go List™, which prohibits ingredients known or suspected of being potentially hazardous to reproductive, developmental, or endocrine toxicity. 

What's the difference between Sorette Approved and certifications like MADE SAFE® or EWG Verified?

MADE SAFE® and EWG Verified evaluate a formula against a broad standard of ingredient safety across categories. Sorette's review is more specific: it's built around what matters most during pregnancy and breastfeeding, screening for substances tied to reproductive, developmental, or endocrine harm.

Who is behind the Sorette standard?

A Scientific Advisory Board of practicing physicians, toxicologists, and researchers across the fields of women's health, dermatology, and environmental health.
