Is Bobbi Brown sustainable?
We do not yet score enough Bobbi Brown products to give the brand a sustainability rating. ELC parent company commitments include reducing virgin plastic use by 50% by 2025, 100% RSPO palm oil, and net-zero emissions by 2050.
We read sustainability as verifiable practice, not marketing: third-party certification, packaging design, sourcing disclosure and published, dated targets. Claims without evidence score as unverified.

How to check this yourself
Sustainability claims are only as good as the evidence behind them. Before you buy:
- Prefer independent certifications with a public register (B Corp, Fair Trade, FSC, GOTS, USDA Organic) over self-declared badges.
- Check whether the claim covers the whole product or one ingredient, and whether packaging is genuinely recyclable where you live.
- Look for dated, measurable targets and progress reports rather than open-ended pledges.
