Sustainability

score : 9.0/10

Packaging

Everist's product packaging is almost entirely 100% aluminum (a forever recyclable). Only the product caps are made from plastic, and Everist has implemented an incentivized “cap back” collection program for them. External and shipping packaging is 100% recyclable paper and plastic free. Boxes and cartons are also compostable (though it's unclear if they are home compostable).

Ingredient Sustainability

Everist's ingredients are vegan and plant-based. They avoid all petrochemicals and source most ingredients from low-impact crops. There are minor exceptions where ingredient sourcing can lead to overharvesting (ex. Baobab) and specific sourcing details aren't available for these. Still, almost all ingredients used are sustainable. The brand is abundantly transparent about their ingredients and derivatives.

Energy Use and Footprint

Everist is a certified climate neutral brand. They partner with Bluebird to track and offset all emissions across their supply chain. They also partner with SeaTrees to contribute actively to regenerative projects through carbon credits.

Waste Management

Everist makes waterless bodycare and haircare concentrates that significantly reduce water consumption and waste during production, as well as reduce shipping emissions.

Business Model

The brand offers an entirely evergreen product selection with minimal to no product churn. They avoid trend-driven, seasonal, or limited-edition products.

Non-toxicity

score : 10.0/10

Everist creates exceedingly non-toxic formulations. They avoid synthetic and petroleum derived ingredients as well as any parabens, sulfates, phthalates, and synthetic fragrances. There are some minor ingredients such as Limonene & Citral, which could provoke individuals with severe fragrance allergies or sensitivities. They are incredibly transparent about all ingredients, including those they avoid, even presenting EWG scores for individual ingredients.
