Dropps' Sustainability Rating:

Good

Dropps has a Good rating because it intentionally minimizes resource use and environmentally harmful ingredients.

Dropps has committed to avoiding some ingredients that pose a threat to the climate, including parabens and phthalates, though it relies on polyvinyl alcohl (PVA), a petrochemical-based ingredient, for its products. It uses 100% plastic-free packaging for its product containers. Dropps offers lower-waste refill options and concentrated formulas for its products, which reduces its shipping emissions and helps minimize packaging and waste.


  • Ingredients

    Dropps has committed to using renewable ingredients and avoiding ones that pose a signfiicant threat to the climate, including parabens, phthalates, and phosphates. It doesn't make commitments regarding other petrochemicals, palm oil, PFAs, and Commons found evidence of petrochemical-based ingredients in its products, including polyvinyl alcohol, which is a petrochemical-based film with contested scientific evidence of its biodegradability. Dropps carries products that are certified by Leaping Bunny and USDA Certified Biobased.


  • Containers & Packaging

    Dropps offers all of its products in a concentrated format, which reduces shipping emissions and minimizes packaging use. It uses plastic-free packaging and containers, though its products contain polyvinyl alcohol film. It uses eco-friendly materials in its product containers, including ones that are recyclable.

  • Slow Cleaning

    Dropps offers an evergreen collection, which helps prevent production of excess inventory.


  • Marketing

    Commons is still evaluating this brand's marketing emails.


  • Transparency & Reporting

    Dropps has a sustainability page with high-level details on its climate strategy, but this page is hard to find on its website. It publishes annual reports, with limited, high-level information on initiatives and impact. Its last annual report was published in 2023. Dropps shares a complete list of ingredients used in its products, on a per product basis.


  • Emissions Tracking

    Dropps only reports measuring its shipping emissions, but doesn't publicly share these numbers.


  • Targets & Offsets

    Commons couldn't find emissions reduction targets for this brand. The brand offsets emissions from its shipping via a partnership with Clearloop.


  • Supply Chain & Labor
