NEMOHAMO is owned by KEIHAN Group.

Our “Planet� rating evaluates brands based on the environmental policies in their supply chains, from carbon emissions to wastewater, ingredients' impacts, product circularity, and more. Here we rate NEMOHAMO “Not Good Enough�. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It uses some lower-impact ingredients including organic, however it does not publish an aggregate breakdown of ingredients used.
  • It has no policy to evaluate the biodegradability and environmental toxicity of its ingredients.
  • It claims it's a 100% natural brand but it is not certified.
  • Its product packaging is recyclable.
  • It could be using palm oil, but it has not disclosed any information regarding responsible sourcing that mitigates environmental impacts.

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

  • Its final production stage happens in Japan
  • There’s no evidence it provides financial security to its suppliers, which can result in poor working conditions and wages.
  • There’s no evidence it supports diversity and inclusion in its supply chain.
  • Its Code of Conduct covers some ILO principles.
  • The brand claims to audit some of its supply chain but doesn’t specify what percentage.
  • There’s no evidence it ensures workers are paid living wages in its supply chain.

Note that the “People� rating in Good On You’s methodology is defined by labour rights and does not consider consumer health.

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 NEMOHAMO “Not Good Enough�. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It uses animal-derived ingredients in its products.
  • It claims to not test its ingredients or finished products on animals, but it is not certified.
  • It appears to use ingredients derived from farmed animals, including collagen.
  • It has not made any public commitments to eliminate animal-derived ingredients.

Based on all the publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate NEMOHAMO “Not Good Enough� overall.
