Sky & Sol's Sustainability Rating:
Poor
Poor
[Beta Review] Sky & Sol's Poor rating is due to a lack of published sustainability information. It’s a smaller brand, which means it likely has fewer resources for robust sustainability efforts and reporting. When Sky & Sol publishes more data, we’ll be able to do a more thorough review. Sky & Sol doesn't utilize any alternative models or packaging minimization strategies to reduce its waste and emissions footprint, and it doesn't share much information about its packaging materials. However, despite being a small brand, it has succeeded in avoiding many climate-threatening ingredients such as parabens, phthalates, and harmful sun care ingredients.
Ingredients
Sky & Sol has made ingredient commitments to lower its environmental impact, including by avoiding parabens, select other petrochemical-based ingredients, and harmful sun care ingredients.
