The Experts Behind Sorette's Standards

Now that you know what Sorette is and how its standards work, you may be wondering about the people behind the framework. Sorette's Scientific Advisory Board is made up of doctors, dietitians, researchers, and mental health professionals with years of experience helping women and families. Their role is to inform and guide — not dictate or certify — ensuring Sorette's standards are thoughtful, science-backed, and grounded in real-world expertise.

What to Know

The Advisory Board helps shape the standards Sorette uses to review products — but they do not test products, provide medical approval, or replace the advice of your healthcare provider.

Why Does Sorette Have an Advisory Board?

We understand the anxiety that comes with making product choices during sensitive life stages. That's why Sorette's standards aren't created in isolation. The Advisory Board exists to ensure those standards are informed by current scientific understanding, aligned with global regulatory thinking, and applied consistently across every product review. Research is always evolving, and the Board helps ensure Sorette's standards are updated with care as new evidence emerges.

What Does the Advisory Board Actually Do?

Board members support standards development by offering input on how Sorette defines and updates its criteria. By reviewing emerging research related to ingredients and exposure, they help shape the principles behind the Sorette No-Go List™. Their expertise spans reproductive medicine, pediatrics, dermatology, nutrition, epidemiology, and maternal mental health — covering the full spectrum of what matters most to families during pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood. Many board members are also moms, so they understand first-hand what questions parents actually ask.

The Sorette Scientific Advisory Board

Sorette's Scientific Advisory Board brings together a diverse group of specialists across reproductive medicine, pediatrics, dermatology, nutrition, epidemiology, and maternal mental health — including Elizabeth Baron, Nan Du MD, Dr. Shieva Ghofrany, Jillian Greaves, Dr. Carmen Messerlian, Dr. Heather D. Rogers, Dr. Lora Shahine, and Dr. Molly Wanner. Many are also moms themselves. Meet the full board →

What the Advisory Board Does Not Do

It's important to be transparent about the Board's limits. Sorette's Scientific Advisory Board does not provide medical approval, conduct product testing or clinical trials, or act as a regulatory or government body. Board members do not independently test or evaluate products submitted to the Sorette Seal of Approval program. And most importantly, they do not replace the advice of a healthcare professional. This distinction helps keep Sorette's work honest, grounded, and clear about what it is — and what it isn't.

Why This Matters for You

For consumers, the presence of an Advisory Board means Sorette's standards aren't built in a vacuum. Prohibited and restricted ingredient decisions are reviewed with care and context by experts across relevant fields. And the framework behind the Sorette Seal of Approval is shaped by people who understand both the science and the real-life experience of motherhood.

Sorette takes its responsibility seriously — which is why we established an Advisory Board to help us operate more carefully, transparently, and responsibly.

The Sorette Scientific Advisory Board provides guidance on Sorette's internal standards. Board members do not provide individual medical advice, conduct product testing, or replace the recommendation of your healthcare provider. Always consult a qualified professional for guidance specific to your health and pregnancy. Read our full disclosure here.
