Is Bondi Sands an ethical sun protection brand?

Do you want to find out how Bondi Sands compares against other popular sun care brands within the Ethical Sun Protection sector? Have a look at the Sun Protection Ethical Ratings Table. The Good Shopping Guide’s Ratings Table can teach you more about the criteria that our top-rated brands have met to reach our minimum Ethical Benchmark.

What does Bondi Sands receive a top rating for?

Bondi Sands receives a top rating in the Environmental Report criterion, as its parent company, Kao Corporation has a detailed Sustainability Report with environmental targets. This suggests that the brand is committed to improving its sustainability record.

What does Bondi Sands receive a bottom rating for?

Unfortunately, Bondi Sands does not yet produce any vegan or organic sun cream and therefore receives a bottom rating in the Vegetarian/Vegan Verified and Organic categories.

What can Bondi Sands do to improve its score? 

Bondi Sands’ good score within The Good Shopping Guide’s Ethical Sun Protection sector is the outcome of an evaluation of a variety of ethical criteria.

The brand must improve in several areas to achieve our ethical benchmark. For instance, we hope that in the future Bondi Sands can introduce some vegan products so that it can receive a top score in this category.

Because it has an above-benchmark score in the Ethical Sun Protection sector, we recommend that Bondi Sands get in touch and apply for Ethical Accreditation. After we have received its application, The Good Shopping Guide would offer Bondi Sands some advice before awarding it with our Ethical Mark.

Your Sun Protection brand could benefit from Ethical Accreditation. Our top-rated brands that have received our ethics and sustainability certification can proudly display our Ethical Mark, showcasing to consumers that their products are ethical and sustainable. The Good Shopping Guide’s Ratings Tables can show you which other brands within the Ethical Sun Protection sector have met our minimum Ethical Benchmark.
