Kitsch's Sustainability Rating:

Fair

Kitsch is rated Fair for its consumable personal care products because it has started to improve its products and packaging, but still has room to grow.

Kitsch utilizes alternative models to reduce its waste and emissions footprint for its personal care products, such as offering waterless formats, and Kitsch has made efforts to reduce its packaging plastic use and waste through its partnership with 4Ocean. It has committed to avoiding some ingredients that pose a threat to the climate, including parabens, phthalates, and select other petrochemical-based ingredients. However, while Kitsch avoids select ingredients, it still uses some that pose a significant threat to the climate, including some petrochemical-based or palm oil-derived ingredients. While it's a small brand with likely limited resources, its sustainability reporting is very limited and we hope it shares more information in the future, including on its energy strategy, emissions, or labor practices.
