The Shifting Gaia rating evaluates brands based on sustainable practices, ingredients and materials, and social responsibility, among others. These are a few factors influencing this brand's score:

sustainability practices

Huron incorporates uses recyclable packaging and a partners with Plastic Bank, which focuses on collecting and recycling plastic waste and reducing the effects of single use plastic. While recyclable packaging is positive, it’s a relatively basic step, especially without information on recycled content percentages or packaging waste reduction goals.

Huron does not disclose details on sourcing certifications, water usage, or carbon reduction initiatives. Additionally, the lack of third party certifications limit verification of any positive environmental impact.

ingredients & materials

Huron uses non-toxic, dermatologist-tested ingredients that are free from parabens, sulfates, phthalates, and silicones. Their formulas focus on safe, skin-friendly ingredients suitable for sensitive skin and free from artificial dyes. Additionally, Huron is leaping bunny certified, ensuring that no animal-derived ingredients are used.

Although their formulas are made with safety in mind, Huron lacks third-party non-toxic certifications, like EWG Verified or OEKO-TEX, that would independently verify their claims. Without certifications, it is unclear whether all ingredients meet strict non-toxicity standards. More transparency on ingredient sourcing and certification would add credibility to their claims in this area.

social responsibility

Huron is Leaping Bunny Certified, verifying that their products are cruelty-free. This certification indicates a strong commitment to avoiding animal testing throughout the supply chain, which aligns with the brand’s values. However, there is limited information regarding labor practices, fair wages, or other certifications that would indicate social responsibility in terms of human rights or fair labor standards.

While the brand takes an ethical stance in terms of animal welfare, more information about worker conditions or supply chain transparency would enhance its social responsibility profile.
