FANCL is owned by FANCL.

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

  • There’s no evidence it uses any lower-impact ingredients.
  • There's no evidence it's taking action to minimise the impacts of microplastics.
  • There’s no evidence it’s taking actions to protect biodiversity in its supply chain.
  • It uses recycled packaging
  • All of its palm oil is certified by RSPO
  • A medium proportion of its palm oil is certified by RSPO, 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 FANCL “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • Much of its final stage is located in lower-risk countries or certified facilities, however it does not publish an aggregate breakdown of suppliers.
  • There’s no evidence it provides financial security to its suppliers, which can result in poor working conditions and wages.
  • It has a basic policy to support diversity and inclusion in its direct operations and supply chain.
  • Its Code of Conduct covers ILO principles.
  • 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 FANCL “Very Poor”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It uses animal-derived ingredients in its products.
  • It does not have a certification, policy, or statement against the use of animal testing in its supply chains.
  • 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 FANCL “Not Good Enough” overall.
