Over 70 cosmetics industry stakeholders have contributed to the
EcoBeautyScore initiative, a breakthrough approach to enable consumers to make more informed and sustainable choices.

About us

Recognizing the growing expectations for transparency and sustainability from consumers and regulators, over 70 companies and associations have contributed to the EcoBeautyScore breakthrough initiative.

The EcoBeautyScore Association is developing an environmental impact assessment and scoring system for cosmetic products (A to E score). A footprinting and scoring methodology has been designed by EcoBeautyScore internal specialists and reviewed by independent experts. It has been subject to a Public Consultation involving NGOs, scientists, public authorities, consumers, and associations in 2024. The EcoBeautyScore platform will be open to all cosmetics and personal care companies, allowing them to calculate the environmental footprint of their products and share it with consumers on a voluntary basis.

Our objectives

The primary objective of the EcoBeautyScore Association is to develop a common environmental impact scoring system for cosmetic products, thus enabling consumers to make more 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) principles

A common database of footprint assessment of standard ingredients and raw materials used in formulation and packaging

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

A common scoring mechanism & harmonized consumer-facing layout

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