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.

  1. Check intended age, ventilation and handling instructions for paints, glues and solvents.
  2. For vegan preferences, ask about binders, dyes and brush fibres rather than relying on the product name.
  3. Compare refill sizes and storage life; buy quantities you can use before materials dry out or deteriorate.

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.
