Overall rating: Good

Our ratings are based on a scale from 1 (We avoid) to 5 (Great)


Our “Planet� rating evaluates brands based on the environmental policies in their supply chains, from carbon emissions and wastewater to business models and product circularity. Here we rate AFROBLONDE “Great�. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It uses a high proportion of lower-impact materials including upcycled materials.
  • It uses low impact materials that help limit the chemicals, water, and wastewater in its supply chain.
  • It produces long-lasting products.
  • There’s no evidence it takes action to minimise its packaging, which is a driver of plastic waste.

Workers� rights are central to our “People� rating, which assess brands� policies and practices on everything from child labour to living wages and gender equality. Here we rate AFROBLONDE “Not Good Enough�. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • There’s no evidence it has a Code of Conduct.
  • It partly traces its supply chain including the final and some of the second production stages.
  • There’s no evidence it ensures workers are paid living wages in its supply chain.

Brands� animal welfare policies and, where applicable, how well they trace their animal-derived products are the focus of our “Animals� rating. Here we rate AFROBLONDE “Great�. PETA listed the brand as vegan.

Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate AFROBLONDE “Good� overall.
