What ToxServices does

ToxServices LLC is a woman-owned toxicological and risk assessment consulting firm founded in 2003 by Dr. Margaret H. Whittaker, headquartered in Washington, D.C. with an additional office in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The firm applies human health, environmental, and regulatory science to support safer chemicals and product stewardship, serving private industry, NGOs, and the public sector across the United States, Europe, and Asia. Its core technology is the ToxFMD Screened Chemistry® Library — the largest privately-owned database of GreenScreen® chemical hazard assessments covering nearly 1,000 chemicals — supplemented by a proprietary Tolerable Intake (TI) database for medical device extractables/leachables and a free GreenScreen® Inspector validation tool. ToxServices holds accredited assessor status with at least eight certification programs including ZDHC (MRSL v3.1), U.S. EPA Safer Choice, CleanGredients, Cradle to Cradle Certified®, GreenScreen® (Clean Production Action), ChemFORWARD, the Health Product Declaration Collaborative, and the Living Product Challenge.

ToxServices generates revenue through three primary streams: project-based toxicology and risk assessment consulting (Proposition 65, regulatory compliance under TSCA/REACH/EPA frameworks, product safety, exposure modeling, and expert witness/litigation support); subscription-based access to the ToxFMD Screened Chemistry® Library (free Benchmark 1 access, paid Benchmark 2–4); and fee-for-service third-party certification assessments (Cradle to Cradle, ZDHC MRSL, ChemFORWARD, Living Product Challenge, EPA Safer Choice profiling). The go-to-market is sales-led and expert-driven, leveraging scientific credibility, board-certified toxicologists (DABTs, ERTs), and exclusive program accreditations to win enterprise clients across consumer products, personal care, pharmaceuticals, dietary supplements, medical devices, drinking water, food, textiles, and electronics verticals. Marketing is conducted through industry conferences (SOT, NYSCC), thought leadership content (podcasts, webinars), and referral partnerships with certification program owners.
