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 intended age, ventilation and handling instructions for paints, glues and solvents.
- For vegan preferences, ask about binders, dyes and brush fibres rather than relying on the product name.
- 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.
