  • It has no policy to evaluate the biodegradability and environmental toxicity of its ingredients.
  • There’s no evidence it’s taking actions to protect biodiversity in its supply chain.
  • It could be using palm oil, but it has not disclosed any information regarding responsible sourcing that mitigates environmental impacts.
