Sustainability Breakdown
FSC and fair-trade mentions on-site; no published land-use or sourcing standards.
Most volume still in plastic packaging; refill schemes reach only a fraction of stores.
No published carbon inventory; global supply chain and shipping weigh on the footprint.
Formulas still rely heavily on petrochemical derivatives; cruelty-free heritage (first major brand to fight animal testing) is real.
Long-running Community Fair Trade sourcing program; B Corp (widely reported); 2024 administration and ownership churn (widely reported) undermine confidence.
