While it has made commitments, it appears to still use some ingredients that pose a significant threat to the climate, including microplastics, reef-harming sun care ingredients, other petrochemical-based ingredients, and uncertified palm oil or palm oil-derived ingredients It can be very difficult to eliminate these entirely, especially for small brands with limited resources, but we hope to see improvements in the future.
