  • It uses few lower-impact materials.
  • There’s no evidence it’s taking meaningful action to reduce water use.
  • There’s no evidence it’s taking meaningful action to reduce or eliminate hazardous chemicals in manufacturing.
  • There’s no evidence it takes action to minimise its packaging, which is a driver of plastic waste.

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 Janessa Leoné “It’s a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It appears to use leather, exotic animal hair, and silk.
