Aromatica

Aromatic has various sustainable initiatives, including responsible packaging and ingredient sourcing. They use recycled glass and plastic in many of their product containers and biodegradable materials for outer packaging, which helps to reduce reliance on single-use plastics. In South Korea, the brand has a “Refill Station” for select products that encourages a more circular approach to reducing waste. Aromatica also holds COSMOS Ecocert certification for certain products, which verifies compliance with established organic and environmental standards.

At the same time, Aromatica provides limited data on their carbon footprint, water usage, and emissions reduction efforts. More detailed reporting in these areas would improve the brand's overall transparency in environmental impact.

Aromatica's formulations avoid synthetic fragrances, parabens, sulfates, and other potentially harmful substances. The EWG Verified™ status for 33 of their products supports their commitment to transparency and consumer health. Additionally, all Aromatica products are vegan and cruelty-free, which aligns with their ethical ingredient sourcing principles.

The brand's COSMOS certification also covers the safety and purity of ingredients for certain products, although not across their entire range. Expanding broader third-party certification coverage could further reinforce consumer confidence in ingredient safety.

Aromatica's commitment to cruelty-free and vegan formulations reflects its dedication to ethical practices, though the brand does not hold independent certifications like Leaping Bunny or PETA for cruelty-free verification. The brand does not provide extensive details about labor practices, supplier standards, or fair wage commitments within its supply chain, leaving gaps in transparency regarding worker welfare. Providing more information about working conditions and ethical sourcing practices would significantly enhance Aromatica's social responsibility profile.
