Lyko

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

• It uses some lower-impact ingredients including organic ingredients, but it does not publish an aggregate breakdown of ingredients used.
• It uses some recycled packaging
• It uses renewable energy in its direct operations (such as stores or offices) but not in its supply chain.
• There’s no evidence it’s taking actions to protect biodiversity in its supply chain.
• 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 Lyko “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.
• The brand claims to audit some of its supply chain but doesn’t specify what percentage.
• It claims it has a Code of Conduct but does not publicly disclose it.
• 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 Lyko “Not Good Enough”. 

• It doesn’t clearly state what animal-derived materials it uses.
• It has not made any public commitments to eliminate animal-derived ingredients.
• It claims to not test its finished products on animals, but it is not certified.

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