Help the Lab

Contribute

Member-funded and member-driven. Pick the right path and the lab team takes it from there.

Member-driven lab queue

Every new report starts with a submission from the field.

Request something the lab should test, fund a study, or send us a finding that deserves a closer look. The workflow stays member-funded, editorially independent, and routed through one shared intake queue.

Submit a case Fund a study

No brand payments influence what we publish, duplicate requests roll into one queue, and signed-in members can follow cases through to results.

Intake Paths

Request, finding, or bug

Brand Influence

Submissions do not go to brands

Choose the right path

Same lab standards, three ways in.

Pick the path that matches what you have right now. The destination is the same: a case the team can review quickly.

Best for products you want screened next.

Submit a product for testing

Send a name, link, or label photo and we will route it into the queue the same way we do inside the app.

Start a request

Best for categories you want moved forward faster.

Fund a lab study

Underwrite a category or product class when you want to accelerate accredited lab work without changing editorial standards.

Fund the lab

Best for issues already spotted in the wild.

Share your findings

Flag a label inconsistency, recall, or something that feels off and the team will triage it like any other case.

Report a finding

Queue logic

How submissions move from request to report.

We look for duplicates, urgency, and signal from the community before sending something to the lab bench. When the work is verified, results publish publicly.

What helps most

Product links, label photos, ingredient panels, and a short explanation of what feels off all make triage faster.

Step 01

Submit

Share what you found, where you found it, and anything else that gives the team a fast head start.

Step 02

Prioritize

The team looks at duplicates, urgency, and community demand before deciding what moves onto the bench next.

Step 03

Publish

When findings are verified, the report goes live and members can follow the case through to results.

Start a case

Submit once. We'll route it to the right team.

No account required. If you are signed in, you can follow the case through the queue and see when results land.

Track your submissions

See the status of every product you've sent in — queued, in the lab, or results-in — on your Cases page.

View your cases

Follow the queue

Track what you've already sent in.

Cases shows whether something is queued, under review, or already on its way to published results.
