How we rank health & wellness
Every product earns an ethics score from 0–100 based on third-party certifications (B Corp, Leaping Bunny, USDA Organic, Fair Trade, etc.), ingredient and material safety, supply-chain transparency, packaging sustainability, and brand-level practices. We do not accept payment for placement — rankings are derived entirely from the underlying data.
How to actually choose ethical health & wellness — beyond this top 2
Picking a ethical health & wellness product looks simple until you flip the pack over and stare at a paragraph of INCI names, three sustainability logos of unclear provenance, and a marketing story that gestures at recyclability without specifying which parts, in which country, under which scheme. What follows is our attempt to translate that fog into practical shorthand.
The ethical health & wellness market has professionalised sharply over the last five years — a good thing when it means audited certifications and traceable supply chains, a bad thing when it means large conglomerates buying up indie brands whose ethical reputation predates their new ownership. Our brand-ownership map flags those cases directly on the product page. Where a ranking is close, the deciding factor is usually the parent company's broader record.
Green flags to look for
- Third-party COA (Certificate of Analysis) available on request.
- USP Verified, NSF Certified, or Informed Sport testing.
- Full disclosure of active + inactive ingredients with dosages.
- HPMC vegan capsules over gelatin.
Red flags to reject
- 'Clinically proven' claims without a published RCT.
- Gelatin capsules on 'vegan' supplements.
- Non-GMP-audited third-party manufacturers.
- 'Proprietary blends' that hide individual dosages.
Certifications worth learning for health & wellness
Marks that regularly hold up in this category, cross-checked against public audit trails.
EthiCompare scores every health & wellness product across five pillars: (1) independently verified certifications, (2) ingredient- or material-level analysis against a running list of known animal-derived, palm-derived, and hazardous inputs, (3) supply-chain transparency and worker-welfare disclosures, (4) packaging and end-of-life design, and (5) parent-brand behaviour including animal-testing policy and lobbying history. Each pillar is scored 0-100 and combined into the composite ethics score you see on every card. We publicly document the methodology and never accept payment for placement.
