  • It uses some lower-impact materials including organic cotton.
  • It uses some recycled packaging.
  • There’s no evidence it’s taking meaningful action to reduce or eliminate hazardous chemicals in manufacturing.
  • It takes action to reduce process greenhouse gas emissions during manufacturing.

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 SEP “Good�. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It’s published a general statement about minimising animal suffering but not a formal animal welfare policy.
  • It appears to use leather, exotic animal hair, and silk.
