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


Golden Rose is owned by Erkul Cosmetics.

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 Golden Rose “Very Poor”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • There’s no evidence it uses any lower-impact ingredients.
  • There's no evidence it's minimising the environmental impact of product packaging.
  • There’s no evidence it’s taking actions to protect biodiversity in its supply chain.
  • It manufactures its products closer to home to reduce the climate impact of long-distance shipping.
  • 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 Golden Rose “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It sources most of its final stage of production from countries with high risk of labour abuse.
  • It traces some of its supply chain.
  • There’s no evidence it provides financial security to its suppliers, which can result in poor working conditions and wages.
  • There's no evidence it audits its suppliers.
  • 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 Golden Rose “It’s a Start”. 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 lanolin, collagen, keratin, and elastin.
  • It has not made any public commitments to eliminate animal-derived ingredients.
  • It's certified as animal test-free by PETA.

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