Eco Beauty Score Environmental Impact

Biotherm is committed to continually improving the environmental footprint of its products.

We are part of the EcoBeautyScore Association, a global initiative that has brought together over 70 cosmetics companies & associations to help consumers make more sustainable choices. Thanks to an environmental impact assessment - that is science-based and independently verified - we are able to share with you the environmental performance of your favourite Biotherm products.

What does it mean? Products that score “A” rank amongst the best in class of the face care category for having a lower environmental impact. Products that score “E” have a higher impact and are therefore key products to focus our efforts to improve their environmental performance. Product scores can only be compared against other products within the same category (e.g. face care).​

Our product safety is systematically assessed whatever their environmental impact score.​ ​

How does it work?​

This score has been calculated measuring the full impact of a product over its lifetime, from sourcing the ingredients and the packaging, to manufacturing, transport, consumer usage and even after use when it becomes waste.

Circular diagram titled “Your product lifecycle,” showing six stages: Formula & Packaging Resources, Processing, Manufacturing, Storage, Use, and End‑of‑Life, each represented with an icon and connected in a loop.

The different planetary impacts – such as climate, water, and biodiversity – are calculated for each stage of the product’s life and combined. This is the approach most commonly used by scientists to measure the environmental impact of a product.​

Circular diagram titled “Planetary impacts,” divided into three sections: air, water, and land. Around the circle are labeled categories with icons: climate change, ozone, air quality, biodiversity, resources, acidification, water quality, and water stress.

The methodology has been co-designed by scientists and reviewed externally by a panel of independent experts​1. Score usage is regularly audited by a third party. To find out more about the methodology, click here.​

​1The EBS methodology and platform have been reviewed and verified by E&H, the consulting branch of the Ecocert group, to ensure compliance with the principles of the European Commission’s PEF methodology and ISO norms 14020/14025.
