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 and wastewater to business models and product circularity. Here we rate In The Soulshine “It's a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It uses a medium proportion of lower-impact materials including organic cotton.
  • It uses lower impact materials, but there’s no evidence it’s taking further action to reduce its energy use or greenhouse gas emissions.
  • It avoids plastic packaging.
  • There’s no evidence it minimises textile waste in its supply chain.

Workers’ rights are central to our “People” rating, which assess brands’ policies and practices on everything from child labour to living wages and gender equality. Here we rate In The Soulshine “It's a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It traces most of its supply chain.
  • It sources its final stage of production from countries with extreme risk of labour abuse.
  • There's no evidence it has a Code of Conduct but it has a formal statement covering workers' rights.
  • It’s not clear if it ensures workers are paid living wages in its supply chain.

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 In The Soulshine “Great”. It states that its entire product range is vegan.

Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate In The Soulshine “Good” overall.
