Horace

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

• It uses some lower-impact ingredients including organic, however it does not publish an aggregate breakdown of ingredients used.
• There’s no evidence it’s taking meaningful action to reduce water use.
• It uses recycled packaging.
• It takes meaningful action to reduce emissions from transportation and distribution.
• 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 Horace “It's a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• Its final production stage happens in France.
• There’s no evidence it has a Code of Conduct.
• It traces most of its supply chain.
• 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 Horace “It's a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It's certified as animal test-free by PETA.
• It doesn’t clearly state what animal-derived materials it uses.
