our Work
The EcoBeautyScore Association work is based on
four pillars.
A science-based method
for measuring environmental impacts throughout the life-cycle of products, based on the principles of the European Union’s Product Environment Footprint methodology.
A database
of environmental impacts of standard ingredients and raw materials used in formulas and packaging (leveraging EcoInvent and SPICE databases).
A harmonized scoring system
containing an A to E score that enables the consumer to easily compare products.
A tool
usable by non-experts, that enables each brand to calculate the environmental impact and the associated score of individual products (developed in collaboration with life-cycle software provider Pilario).
