While it avoids a few ingredients, it still uses some that pose a significant threat to the climate, including uncertified palm oil or palm oil-derived ingredients and petrochemical-based ingredients. Lume Deodorant doesn't utilize any alternative models or packaging minimization strategies to reduce its waste and emissions footprint, and it uses primarily plastic packaging of a virgin or undisclosed source, which contributes greatly to waste production and excess energy use.
Lume Doedorant and its parent company are lacking reporting on most sustainability topics - including any energy strategy, water efficiency measures, emissions measurement, emissions data, emissions reduction targets, offsets, supply chain details, and labor practices.
