Avène

Is Avène an ethical sun protection brand?

Owned by Pierre Fabre S.A., Avène is a below-benchmark brand within The Good Shopping Guide’s Ethical Sun Protection sector. As a result of its low score, it cannot be classed as an ethical and sustainable suncream brand.

Would you like to find out how Avène compares to other brands within the Ethical Sun Protection sector? Have a look at The Good shopping Guide’s Sun Protection Ethical Ratings Table. Our Ratings Table can help you to find out more about the criteria that our top-rated brands have had to fulfil to reach our minimum Ethical Benchmark.

The Good Shopping Guide encourages all brands to follow in the footsteps of our top-rated brands and adopt more ethical practices.

In which categories does Avène receive a top rating?

Neither Avène or Pierre Fabre have been linked to the Nuclear Power, Fossil Fuels or Armaments industries. As a result, Avène receives a top score for these categories.

In which categories does Avène receive a bottom rating?

Unfortunately, Avène does not currently produce any organic or vegan suncream. It therefore receives a bottom rating for the Organic and Vegetarian/Vegan Verified categories.

What can Avène do to improve its score? 
Avène’s below benchmark score within The Good Shopping Guide’s Ethical Sun Protection sector is the outcome of a calculation of a variety of ethical criteria.

A lot of improvement is required before Avène can be considered an ethical brand. We hope that in the future it will introduce some vegan and organic suncream products so that its score can rise on the Sun Protection Ethical Ratings Table.
