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 NEMOHAMO “Not Good Enough”. 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.
• It has no policy to evaluate the biodegradability and environmental toxicity of its ingredients.
• It claims it's a 100% natural brand but it is not certified.
• Its product packaging is recyclable.
• 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 NEMOHAMO “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• Its final production stage happens in Japan
• 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 supports diversity and inclusion in its supply chain.
• Its Code of Conduct covers some ILO principles.
• The brand claims to audit some of its supply chain but doesn’t specify what percentage.
• 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 NEMOHAMO “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It uses animal-derived ingredients in its products.
• It claims to not test its ingredients or finished products on animals, but it is not certified.
• It appears to use ingredients derived from farmed animals, including collagen.
• It has not made any public commitments to eliminate animal-derived ingredients.
