Sustainability Breakdown
Large consumer of palm derivatives; despite zero-deforestation pledges, tracking derivatives to the farm level is notoriously difficult.
Massive cosmetic plastic/glass packaging output, very little of which is recyclable due to complex multi-material design and small product sizes.
Committed to carbon neutrality at all operated sites by 2025; has achieved significant reductions in operational greenhouse gases.
Phasing out plastic microbeads and implementing green chemistry, though chemical-heavy formulations still release wash-off ingredients.
Improved mica traceability in India, but informal mining sectors in cosmetics supply chains continue to present risks of child labor.
