Over 70 cosmetics industry stakeholders from around the world
have contributed to the EcoBeautyScore initiative, a groundbreaking
approach that equips consumers with more transparency to enable informed and sustainable choices.

About us

Recognizing the growing expectations for transparency and sustainability from consumers and regulators, over 70 companies and associations across the beauty industry have come together to contribute to the EcoBeautyScore initiative.

What started as a concept has now become a reality. Over the past three years, the EcoBeautyScore Association has worked to develop a robust and reliable methodology for assessing the environmental impact of beauty products. Our approach is innovative and science-based, offering a comprehensive way to evaluate the environmental effects of products across their entire lifecycle—from ingredient sourcing to end-of-life disposal. Grounded in the principles of the European Commission’s Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) approach, the EcoBeautyScore methodology has been thoroughly reviewed by independent experts and is now available through a user-friendly tool. This provides cosmetic manufacturers access to valuable insights that enable them to make informed decisions to reduce their environmental footprint while providing the opportunity to communicate to consumers clear, transparent scores.

Our objectives

The primary objective of the EcoBeautyScore Association is to develop a common environmental impact scoring system for cosmetic products, equipping consumers with the knowledge to be able to make informed purchasing decisions.

This includes:

A common environmental footprint assessment methodology, based on life-cycle assessment and in line with the principles of the EU Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) method

A common database of cosmetic ingredients and raw materials used in formulation and packaging to assess footprint

A common tool, the EcoBeautyScore platform, for assessing the environmental footprint and score of cosmetic products

A common scoring mechanism & harmonized consumer-facing layout

In addition, the EcoBeautyScore Association will also enable the industry to anticipate upcoming regulation, and foster a culture of eco-design among the members and beyond.
