Good Molecules' Sustainability Rating:

Poor

Good Molecules is rated Poor due to a lack of published sustainability efforts and information. It’s a smaller brand, which means it likely has fewer resources for robust sustainability efforts and reporting. When Good Molecules publishes more data, we’ll be able to do a more thorough review.

It also doesn't discuss its packaging materials, and appears to use primarily plastic packaging, which contributes greatly to waste production and excess energy use.
