Europe-wide launch of the first global environmental assessment system for cosmetics: L'Or\u00e9al Paris, Neutrogena, Nivea Q10 and Eucerin introduce the EcoBeautyScore, a scientifically based environmental assessment system for cosmetic products.<\/strong><\/p>\n

EcoBeautyScore, the first global environmental rating system for cosmetics and personal care products, has now been officially launched in Europe. The initiative is organised by the non-profit EcoBeautyScore Association, which developed the system together with over 70 companies and industry associations<\/strong>. Among the first brands to publish results are L'Or\u00e9al Paris, Neutrogena, Nivea Q10 and Eucerin.<\/p>\n

Scientifically sound assessment in 16 environmental categories<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The system is based on the Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) methodology of the EU<\/strong> and assesses products over their entire life cycle - from raw material extraction to disposal. The environmental impact is recorded in 16 categories such as CO\u2082 emissions, water consumption and resource depletion and presented on a scale from A (best rating) to E.<\/p>

According to an international study with over 9,000 participants, the new label creates trust: Two thirds of those surveyed want to include the EcoBeautyScore in their purchasing decisions in future. The system is thus responding to a growing Need for guidance on sustainability promises in the cosmetics sector<\/strong> - especially in view of the fact that around half of European consumers have so far been sceptical about such claims.<\/p>\n

Focus on access for brands of all sizes and transparency<\/strong><\/h2>\n

According to the EcoBeautyScore Association, the evaluation process is regularly independently audited and certified. Brands of all sizes can test the platform free of charge<\/strong> and receive onboarding support. At launch, the system comprises four product categories: Shampoo, conditioner, shower gel and facial care products. A global expansion is planned.<\/p>\n

\u201eEcoBeautyScore is the transparency tool that the beauty industry has been missing until now. For the first time, brands can communicate their environmental impact in a scientifically sound, consistent and understandable way. Through an easy-to-use scoring platform, companies gain access to comprehensive data on the environmental hotspots of their products, which is now accessible to brands of all sizes, regardless of their sustainability experience.\u201c<\/p>\n

Jean-Baptiste Massignon<\/strong>, Managing Director of the EcoBeautyScore Association<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Laurent Gilbert, Scientific Director of the initiative, also emphasises: \u201eWith EcoBeautyScore, we have transformed the complexity of environmental assessment into an accessible platform.\u201c<\/p>\n
