Scivera

At Scivera, we envision a world where companies are able to take a proactive approach to product development by verifying the chemicals used in their products are safe; where suppliers are able to share important safety data without sacrificing their proprietary information; and—most importantly—where everyone is safer because the products they are using are safer.

We’ve been turning this vision into a reality with our revolutionary software, SciveraLENS. This cloud-based program utilizes more than 4,000 chemical hazard assessments (CHAs) completed by board-certified toxicologists—the largest library in existence—and an easy to understand 23-endpoint user interface to help brands and suppliers know exactly what chemicals are in their products and identify safer alternatives when needed. With more than 85% of hazardous chemicals in existence being unrestricted, simple list-checking isn’t enough. By moving past a compliance mentality to this proactive approach, entire supply chains can save time, money, and their reputation by ensuring safe products from the start.
