Clean Cult

Clean Cult is committed to sustainability through several key practices. First, their packaging is designed to eliminate single-use plastics by offering refillable glass bottles and milk-carton-style refills made from paper-based materials. They claim to use zero-waste, recyclable packaging for all products and have been certified Plastic Neutral, meaning they remove as much plastic waste from the environment as they produce.

They also provide carbon-neutral shipping, although this is not third-party verified. While they have made significant strides in reducing plastic waste and packaging impact, there is limited information about their ingredient sourcing practices or data on water usage and overall carbon footprint.

Clean Cult focuses heavily on using non-toxic, plant-based ingredients in all of its cleaning products. They avoid harmful chemicals like phthalates, parabens, and synthetic fragrances, making their products safe for human health. Clean Cult has achieved certifications from trusted third-party organizations such as the USDA BioPreferred Program and is Leaping Bunny Certified, ensuring that their products are cruelty-free.

However, they lack certifications like EPA Safer Choice or Green Seal, which would further validate their claims. While their avoidance of toxic chemicals is strong, more information on third-party allergen testing could improve their rating.

Clean Cult emphasizes ethical business practices and environmentally conscious operations. They are Leaping Bunny Certified, which guarantees their products are cruelty-free, and Plastic Neutral Certified, showing their commitment to removing plastic waste. However, there is limited information on their labor practices, both within their own operations and across their supply chain. Certifications like Fair Trade or B Corporation would add credibility to their labor ethics.

This lack of transparency on worker conditions and supply chain responsibility limits their social responsibility rating.
