Supergoop

Supergoop has made ingredient commitments to lower its environmental impact, including by avoiding parabens, phthalates, select other petrochemical-based ingredients, uncertified palm oil, microplastics, and harmful sun care ingredients. While it has made commitments, it still uses many ingredients that pose a significant threat to the climate, including reef-harming suncare ingredients, many other petrochemical-based ingredients, palm oil-derived ingredients, and microplastics. It carries products that have certifications from Leaping Bunny.

Supergoop hasn't made any efforts to concentrate its products or minimize its containers, which increases shipping emissions and packaging volumes. It doesn't share enough information on its product packaging, but it appears to use primarily plastic of a virgin or unknown source, which greatly increases waste and energy use. Their secondary packaging includes some recycled materials.

Supergoop doesn't share information on its energy strategy. Supergoop has an unknown production span. Supergoop doesn't provide information on any water conservation strategies.

Supergoop doesn't publish information about its supply chain partners. It publicly provides a supplier code of conduct, which prohibits forced labor and child labor, and includes some environmental clauses. This code of conduct is not easily found on its site. Its code of conduct doesn't disallow unauthorized subcontracting, ensure the right to collective bargaining where not allowed by law, ensure a living wage, or establish grievance mechanisms. Supergoop doesn't have a stated policy of regularly auditing its supply chain partners. This may increase human and environmental risks.

Supergoop doesn't openly disclose its climate-obstructive trade association memberships. It's a member of 1 large climate-obstructive trade associations: Personal Care Products Council. Supergoop isn't a member of advocacy organizations advancing climate policy. It doesn't employ any state lobbyists and didn't donate more than $100k to climate-obstructive candidates or PACs from 2018-2024.
