EcoBeautyScore

Bringing trusted environmental transparency to beauty.​

Independent, science-backed scoring that measures impact from ingredient sourcing through to end of life.

The beauty industry has no shortage of sustainability claims. What it lacks is a shared, scientific basis for making them. EcoBeautyScore was built to fill that gap - giving brands, retailers, and consumers a common language for environmental impact, grounded in an internationally recognised methodology rather than marketing intent.

why it matters

Everything you need to score, improve, and communicate.

Sustainability is increasingly becoming a driver of commercial performance.

Consumers are increasingly rewarding products with credible sustainability claims, and retailers are responding by placing greater emphasis on transparent environmental information.
Shoppers are no longer taking sustainability claims at face value. Brands need objective, comparable environmental information to support their claims.

EcoBeautyScore helps replace uncertainty with transparency through independently governed, science-based environmental scoring.
Verified scores give your brand the credibility to convert at the shelf, turning environmental performance into a measurable commercial advantage.
The EU Empowering Consumers Directive prohibits terms like "natural," "clean," and "eco" unless independently verified.

EcoBeautyScore's LCA framework - aligned with European Commission standards - gives your sustainability claim the robust foundation it needs to operate with confidence.
