Where can I find Lead Safe Mama’s original 2025 lab reports and the comparative toothpaste chart with ppb values?
Executive summary
Lead Safe Mama’s 2025 independent, community-funded lab reports and the comparative toothpaste chart (with measurements in parts per billion, ppb) are published on Tamara Rubin’s Lead Safe Mama website; the main hub for lab reports is the site’s “Lab Reports” page and the toothpaste chart is available as a PDF linked from the site (both pages and the PDF are explicitly referenced on Lead Safe Mama’s site) [1][2]. The chart’s April 18, 2025 update states all measurements are in ppb and the site also links each product’s individual lab report from that hub [2][3].
1. Where the original 2025 lab reports live online
Lead Safe Mama collects its third‑party laboratory reports on a central “Lab Reports” page on tamararubin.com, which the site identifies as the repository for community‑funded testing started in March 2024 and which now lists hundreds of tested products and their lab-level detection thresholds in ppb [1]. Individual toothpaste product lab reports are published as standalone posts on the same site and, according to Lead Safe Mama, links to all published lab reports for products tested through the initiative can be found from that lab‑reports hub [3][1].
2. Where to download the comparative toothpaste chart with ppb values
A comparative chart titled “Comparative Chart of Toxicant Levels Found in Popular Toothpaste Products: 2025” is available as a direct PDF on the Lead Safe Mama site (Toothpaste-Chart-April-18-2025-Update.pdf), and the chart explicitly notes that all measurements are reported in parts per billion (ppb) [2]. The site’s April 18, 2025 update flow and related posts confirm the chart was updated to include 51 products and to restore the ppb notation after a migration error, so the PDF is the authoritative file to download for the ppb values referenced in the reporting [3][2].
3. How the chart and reports are linked and organized
Lead Safe Mama states it maintains the chart as a synthesized view while simultaneously publishing individual lab‑report articles for specific products; the chart page and the lab‑reports hub are cross‑linked on the site so readers can move from a product’s row in the chart to its full lab report when available [3][1]. The site also notes some products shown in the chart may still have pending or not‑yet‑published full lab reports—those are flagged in fundraising and update posts on Lead Safe Mama’s pages and Patreon updates [4][5].
4. Context, caveats and provenance readers should note
Lead Safe Mama’s testing program is community‑collaborative and funded by donations and crowdfunding campaigns, which the site openly describes; some lab reports and chart entries reflect that funding cadence (tests completed vs. reports pending) and the site documents fundraising pages for specific toothpaste tests [4][6]. The site reports using independent, third‑party laboratories and states detection thresholds down to single‑digit ppb for metals tested, but readers should follow the link from the chart to each product’s lab report to verify lab name, method, and limits of detection for any particular result because those provenance details live in the individual lab reports rather than solely in the aggregated chart [1][2].
5. Practical steps to access the original files
To retrieve the sources, navigate to tamararubin.com and use the “Lab Reports” page as the primary index of published test reports (the site’s lab‑reports hub lists the initiative and links to product reports) and download the comparative toothpaste PDF (Toothpaste-Chart-April-18-2025-Update.pdf) for the ppb table; both items are referenced and linked on Lead Safe Mama’s website [1][2]. If a specific product row in the PDF indicates a lab report is pending, the site’s fundraiser and Patreon update posts track which tests remain unfunded or unpublished and provide campaign links and status updates [4][5].
6. What reporting does not (yet) make explicit
The sources confirm where to find the chart and reports and that measurements are in ppb, but if a reader needs the raw laboratory certificates, chain‑of‑custody forms, or full analytical method files, Lead Safe Mama’s public pages indicate the lab reports are published as articles and linked from the hub; however, the available snippets do not show whether every lab’s raw certificate or full method appendices are uniformly posted alongside each article, so that level of forensic documentation should be checked within each individual lab‑report post [1][3].
