Versed

Evaluation Completed: 
May 4, 2025
Adults
Bathroom

Here’s our quick take on Versed: The company offers a number of products that are more affordable and have some of the basics covered on ingredient safety. We also like that they are incorporating recycled content into their packaging. But beyond that we weren’t able to find much in terms of efforts to reduce environmental impacts or information about how they treat people. That lack of publicly available information (or lack of action on those issues) means that the company didn’t score well on many of the criteria included in our evaluation.
