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 DAMDAM “It's a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It uses a medium proportion of lower-impact materials including organic, however it does not publish an aggregate breakdown of ingredients used.
  • Its use of lower-impact materials minimises chemicals, water, and wastewater in production.
  • Its product packaging is recyclable.
  • It's a member of 1% for the Planet.
  • 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 DAMDAM “It's a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • Its final production stage happens in medium-risk countries for labour abuse, however it doesn't publish an aggregate breakdown of supplier locations.
  • There’s no evidence it has a Code of Conduct.
  • 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 DAMDAM “Not Good Enough”. It doesn’t clearly state what animal-derived materials it uses.

  • 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 DAMDAM “Not Good Enough” overall.
