Green Star^tm  Rating (GSR)

 The Green Star^tm  Rating (GSR, patent pending) is a classification system developed by industry professionals designed to allow the formulation chemist the ability to maximize the natural component in products. The higher the Green Star Rating the more green the product.

  Step one in determining the Green Star Rating is to
determine the formula for the product.  

Example – Sodium lauryl sulfate

                                        C₁₂H₂₃SO₄Na

  Step two– determine which parts of the molecule are natural
(derived from green natural raw materials) and which are synthetic.

 Example – Sodium lauryl sulfate 

     Natural             C₁₂H₂₃  
     Synthetic             SO₄Na 

Step three – Use the patent pending Green Star Rating system online or download a spreadsheet.
 

Step four – Attach a copy of the spreadsheet containing your Green Star Rating to info@greenstarproducts.org. We will review and post your Green Star Rating on our website.
