It also stocks a charity range of apparel, which is vegan-approved, made in factories with fair working conditions and made of organic cotton. Part of its annual turnover is also used to support a Romanian street dog rescue centre, which organises neutering facilities.

Consumers can also find scientific studies of the ingredients on People Who Kaer’s website. The Good Shopping Guide encourages brands to publish the evidence behind their products, as this helps customers to assess a brand for themselves and avoids spreading misinformation or making false marketing claims.
