Ethical buyers' guide

Ethical buyers' guide to bars of chocolate and shampoo (and other food)

Ethiscore helps you to find the best products to buy and the worst companies to avoid according to 23 ethical categories (palm oil and other unsustainable use of products, pollution, animal testing, fairtrade, workers rights etc).

15 to 20 is good
10 to 14 is average
5 to 9 is poor
0 to 4 is very poor



For example very poor products:
Nestlé Heaven: 1
Twix: 1,5
Snickers: 1,5
M&M: 1,5
Bounty: 1,5
Wella shampoo: 0,5
Herbal Essences: 0,5
Dove 0,5
Neutragena: 2,5
Johnson's Baby shampoo: 2,5

  2. Haha at least the whole thing is making me healthier, I dont want chocolate or biscuits anymore unless its 100% palm oil free... and it doesn't give me a lot of choice. You guys in Tubney house can eat Dubble and Divine chocolates with good concience though, they get pretty good scores of 14,5!
