Calypso

How ethical is Calypso?

Calypso is a sun protection brand owned by Linco Care. The brand receives a positive Good Shopping Guide ethical score in our Ethical Sun Protection Ratings Table and therefore successfully passes our ethical benchmark.

We encourage other companies in the Sun Protection sector to follow Calypso’s example and adopt more ethical policies and practices.

In which areas does Calypso perform well?

Calypso performs well across our criteria for stocking Organic products, Animal Welfare (no animal cruelty or animal testing), and also has no Public Record Criticisms.

This company group also has no record of Irresponsible Marketing, which can be a problem in the Skincare and Sun Protection industries, with some brands making unfounded claims about the effectiveness of their products!

How can Calypso improve its score?

Linco Care only received a middle rating for Environmental Report, as the company does not provide sufficient information on its sustainability commitments for a top rating. We recommend this be improved for Calypso to attain a higher GSG score.

We also suggest that Calypso improves its rating in the following categories: Organic, Animal Welfare and Vegetarian/Vegan Verified.
