Sustainability

score : 9.0/10

Packaging

Paper Cosmetics packaging is made from 99.98% FSC-certified paper. The remaining 0.02% is a thin membrane made from cornstarch (also biodegradable). They only used soy-based inks for package printing, making the final product 100% biodegradable and compostable. They use envelopes for shipping instead of boxes to reduce waste. The envelopes are also made from recycled material and are recyclable and biodegradable.

Material Sustainability

Paper Cosmetics uses only a few ingredients sourced from low-impact crops. There is some room for improvement in ingredient sourcing transparency. Even the oils used for their scent combinations are derived from crops with minimal environmental harm.

Energy Use and Footprint

Paper Cosmetics uses 100% solar energy for their production. They offset any emissions for products and are a certified carbon-neutral company.

Waste Management

There is limited information regarding waste management or mitigation efforts in production.

Business Model

The brand's business model clearly prioritizes slow, intentional consumption. They avoid trend-driven, seasonal, or limited-edition products. Their inventory consists of a well-curated evergreen collection with minimal product churn.

Non-toxicity

score : 10.0/10

Plastic Cosmetics deodorants are free from parabens, aluminum, silicone, and sulfates. They use only a few natural ingredients and avoid toxic synthetic ingredients altogether. Their formulations are simple, transparent, and 100% toxin-free.

Social Responsibility

score : 7.0/10

Paper Cosmetics donates 1% of all proceeds to the Ancient Tree Archive to plant Redwood and Sequoia trees. There is limited information regarding fair labor practices. However, the company produces all products in the USA and does not operate in countries or regions with high risk for labor violations or poor labor codes. They do not source ingredients with high risk for poor labor conditions and are therefor at an overall low fair labor risk across the supply chain. Their formulations are PETA certified vegan and cruelty-free.
