Optimization Pathways in LPC

The Transparent Material Health Imperative requires that manufacturers demonstrate a product meets an adequate level of health through conducting an assessment of the substances in the product inventory.

There are two pathways to achieve this:

1. Pre-approved Optimization Pathway: Demonstrate that the product has achieved one of the pre-approved material health certifications outlined in the documentation requirements, and that certification is valid at the time of LPC Certification.
2. LPC Transparent Material Health Pathway: Engage an approved third party Material Health Assessor (MHA) to conduct a review of a minimum of 95% of material ingredients represented on their valid Third Party Verified Declare label and demonstrate that there is no significant risk of exposure to the manufacturer, installer and/or end-user of the product (process outlined in the Transparent Material Health Guide) by working to eliminate all CMRs and PBTs in their product’s formulation. The percentage of product assessed is represented on the LPC Label.
