What can Skinny Tan do to improve its score?

The above benchmark score that Skinny Tan is awarded on The Good Shopping Guide’s Ethical Self Tan Ratings Table is the result of an evaluation of multiple ethical criteria.

As Skinny Tan already receives a top score in the Ethical Self Tan sector, The Good Shopping Guide encourages it to get in touch and apply for Ethical Accreditation. After sending in its application, Skinny Tan will be offered the use of The Good Shopping Guide ethical mark.

However, we would encourage Skinny Tan to gain Organic and Vegetarian certification, and publish an Environmental Report in order to improve its score for these criteria. If Skinny Tan applies for Ethical Accreditation, The Good Shopping Guide would be able to offer some guidance on this.
