Crowdfund independent contaminant testing for everyday products. Back test requests for food, cosmetics, clothing, and household cleaners.
A simple way to see results across categories would help. Like a public dashboard where anyone can browse what brands have been tested, who funded it, and what came back. Right now it feels like I'd only see outcomes for things I personally backed, but having a searchable archive would build trust and make it easier to decide what to request next.
@baruknehir14881 Absolutely! Check out the Test Results page where you can review all test results across the website. When we have more data we'll start grouping the results by company and sub categories 🎉
Really cool idea, honestly this could actually push brands to clean up their stuff. One thing that would help me trust it more is letting backers see the raw lab results or at least a summary of the actual numbers detected, instead of just a pass or fail label. Basically more transparency on what was found and whether it crosses any known safety thresholds would make the whole thing feel a lot more legit.
@enesgryelfkhz Absolutely! Check out the Raw Laboratory Results area on each test request data page or hover a dashed health-guidance line to see how this product's intake compares to that value.

tested it with a candle i was suspicious of and the results actually came back within like four days, which was faster than i expected. honestly the interface makes it super easy to submit requests without feeling like you need a science degree
Love the idea of holding brands accountable. One thing that would make me trust it more is showing the actual lab results in a public archive so anyone can revisit them later instead of trusting a snapshot post.
The way you let people back specific test requests instead of just funding in general feels really smart. Makes the whole thing feel more like participatory science than just another donation page.
honestly love how clean the request flow is here, you basically pick a product category and it just walks you straight through what to test without any clutter. the focus on backing tests rather than running them yourself is a smart way to crowdsource accountability.
