Companies are scored on their use of certified sustainable palm oil (CSPO), commitment to sourcing CSPO, on-the-ground conservation action, and membership to the RSPO. Companies can earn a rating of Excellent, Good, Fair, Poor or No Commitment. This brand's previous owner is rated "No Commitment" (retrieved 4 Feb 2025), however in Jan 2024 PNB Consolidated took over ownership. PNB's palm oil sourcing practices are unclear.

Some use of microplastics
The majority of this company's products do not contain plastic microbeads, or contain 'sceptical microplastics' (synthetic polymers for which there is limited information). Microplastics are not retained by wastewater treatment so end up in the ocean where they contribute to ocean plastic pollution, and are hazardous to sea life. While the effects of microplastics on human health are not completely understood, there are concerns about plastic additives, such as phthalates, which are known endocrine disruptors which are shown to have harmful effects on life.
