Before you buy
Start with suitability, then compare the evidence. These checks are questions to investigate, not promises that every product in this ranking meets them.
- Check the exact formula and fragrance allergens; a vegan claim does not establish suitability for sensitive skin.
- Look up the brand in the cruelty-free certifier's directory and check whether the certificate covers the whole range.
- Compare refill volume and cost per use, including the original container; a refill is only useful if you can keep using it.
What the ranking does—and does not—tell you
The ethics score is a comparison of the information recorded in our catalogue, not a customer star rating, safety test or complete lifecycle assessment. Check the individual product's sources, certificate scope and current retailer details before deciding.
