How to judge a suggested brand alternative
An alternatives page is a starting shortlist, not proof that one brand is universally better than another. The suggestions come from our catalogue: published products in a similar category with a recorded ethics score. They answer a narrow question — which products we list might fit the same need — and they cannot tell you which option performs best, suits your skin or diet, or matches your budget.
Match the job before the score
Start with what the original product does for you: format, size, scent, skin or dietary requirements and where you buy it. A higher-scoring alternative is not useful if it comes in a format you cannot use or is not sold where you shop. Check the alternative's full record — purpose, ingredients, price and seller — before treating it as a replacement.
Compare evidence, not impressions
Read certifications at their stated scope: a scheme may cover one range, one material or a named entity rather than a whole brand. An animal-free ingredient list and an animal-testing policy are separate questions, and a parent company's record is a third. Where a claim matters to you, confirm it in the scheme's own directory or the manufacturer's current statement rather than relying on a badge alone.
Keep the limits of the comparison visible
Catalogue scores are AI-assisted assessments with documented limitations, not laboratory measurements. A missing score is a data gap, not a failing grade. The original brand's presence here reflects what our records contain, which may omit reformulations, regional differences or newer certifications. For health, safety or recall concerns, use official sources rather than any score.
| Check | Where to confirm it | Avoid assuming |
|---|---|---|
| Does the alternative do the same job? | Its full product record and the maker's current description | A similar category means a like-for-like replacement |
| Is a claimed certification current? | The certification scheme's official directory | A badge covers the whole brand or group |
| Is it actually available to you? | The retailer's current listing, price and delivery | A catalogue price tier is a live quote |
