La Petite Creme's Sustainability Rating:
Fair
La Petite Creme is rated Fair because while it uses clean ingredients, it has room to improve in its packaging and sustainability reporting.
La Petite Creme is USDA Certified Organic and EWG verified, and uses only 6 ingredients in its products, all of which are not harmful to the environment. It has committed to avoiding many ingredients that pose a threat to the climate, including parabens, sulfates and undisclosed fragrances. However, La Petite Creme appears to use primarily plastic packaging of a virgin or undisclosed source, which increases its energy and emissions footprint.
As a small company, it can be challenging to allocate resources to reporting, but we hope to see more thorough sustainability transparency from this brand in the future.
