Ouate Paris

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 Ouate Paris “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.
• Its product packaging is recyclable.
• It manufactures its products closer to home to reduce the climate impact of long-distance shipping.
• There’s no evidence it’s taking meaningful action to reduce water use.
• 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 Ouate Paris “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• Its final production stage happens in France, a medium country for labour abuse.
• There's no evidence it has a Code of Conduct but it has a formal statement covering workers’ rights.
• There's no evidence it audits its suppliers.
• 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 Ouate Paris “Good”. 

• It states that its entire product range is vegan.
• It claims to not test its ingredients or finished products on animals, but it is not certified.

Based on all the publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate Ouate Paris “It's a Start” overall.
