What is the Validated Transparency Protocol?
The Validated Transparency Protocol is a comprehensive, research-driven set of guidelines that allows brands to openly and accurately share their product safety and quality metrics. The protocol covers everything from testing standards, data disclosure, to maintaining ongoing compliance. By providing a standardized and credible framework, Light Labs ensures that the information presented is consistent, reliable, and scientifically validated—giving consumers the confidence they need.
At the core of the Validated Transparency Protocol is our Product Insight Panel (PIP), a easy-to-use widget where brands can share verified testing results. The PIP includes key metrics like heavy metal content, pesticide levels, and macronutrient data, empowering brands to effectively communicate product quality and safety with consumers.

The Impact of the Validated Transparency Protocol
The Validated Transparency Protocol has proven to be a powerful driver of business growth, demonstrating that consumers prefer brands who prioritize transparency. When brands showcase their test results through our Product Information Portal (PIP), they experience an average 12% increase in revenue—a clear indication that transparency directly impacts the bottom line. This significant uplift isn't just about sharing data; it's about building trust through verified, accessible information that empowers consumers to make informed decisions.
