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


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 Bonajour “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It uses some lower-impact ingredients including organic ingredients. 
  • It uses Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified packaging.
  • There’s no evidence it’s taking meaningful action to reduce its climate impacts.
  • There’s no evidence it’s taking meaningful action to reduce water use.
  • Some of its palm oil is RSPO-certified, however it does not publish an aggregate breakdown of palm oil used.

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 Bonajour “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • Its final production stage happens in South Korea.
  • There’s no evidence it has a Code of Conduct.
  • There's no evidence it audits its suppliers.
  • It uses mica, but it hasn't disclosed any information regarding responsible sourcing that mitigates human rights risks.
  • 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 Bonajour “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

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

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