We're really proud to be accredited by a number of well recognised and trusted organisations. You can also view all the wonderful awards we have received by viewing our individual product pages.
In our modern age of 'greenwash' consumers find it increasingly difficult to find brands that are genuine. Words like 'natural', 'organic' and 'ethical' are often overstated and misleading.
Conscious Skincare has successfully passed the ethical screening required in order to be awarded Ethical Accreditation from The Good Shopping Guide, our latest accreditation in 2023.
We can now proudly display The Good Shopping Guide logo!
The Good Shopping Guide has been the source of ethical brand comparison information for over 20 years and is used by millions of consumers. The guide allows you to compare thousands of the biggest brands in their Ethical Ratings Tables. Extensive research goes into environmental track records, animal welfare and human rights issues. The Good Shopping Guide reports the facts since 2001, so you can make well-informed ethical shopping choices.
We were also thrilled to be approached by Ethical Consumer who also audited what we do and our all our products.
We passed with flying colours and achieved Ethical Consumer 'Best Buy' status for our skincare range. Many of our products were awarded some of the highest scores in each category!
Ethical Consumer has helped consumers make informed choices for over 25 years and challenge companies globally to improve their business models and supply chains.
Following a thorough and independent audit, we ranked higher than all other companies in most product categories. See how our products performed and see how ethical consumer tests health and beauty at Ethical Consumer. You may be surprised to see how other well known brands performed!
EWG is a US consumer organisation designed to help consumers navigate their way through household, cosmetic and other products so that they can avoid those which may cause health issues.
Our products have been reviewed and their ingredients ranked by EWG. Furthermore, we are delighted to further our existing accreditation with EWG through the EWG VERIFIED™ programme.
What do these accreditations mean? Skin Deep® is an educational tool for consumers which rates ingredients in personal care products. All our products have been independently rated with Skin Deep® (please see EWG Skin Deep information further down the page).
EWG VERIFIED™ delves deep into ingredient labels and offers the EWG VERIFIED™ mark for those products who meet their strict criteria. The mark is a quick and easy tool to help consumers to identify products that meet these rigorous criteria.
EWG VERIFIED™ symbol on a product means the product is free from EWG’S ingredients of concern, that the brand is committed to full transparency and operates under Good Manufacturing Practices.
So a product has to:
- meet EWG’s strictest criteria for transparency and health.
- avoids ingredients that authoritative health bodies have flagged for potential health concern
- has labelling that fully discloses its ingredients
- uses adequate preservatives
- is free of contaminants
- the brand is a manufacturer that follows good manufacturing practices.

We're Vegan Approved and Vegetarian Approved!
All of our products are fully approved by the Vegetarian Society to give you complete confidence and trust in the sourcing and nature of our ingredients.
We are also delighted to recently have our range given the 'Vegan approved' accreditations by the Vegetarian Society too so all our products are suitable for Vegans.
The Vegetarian Society Seedling Symbol trademark is now proudly displayed on a diverse range of over 5000 product lines available in the UK and abroad. Millions of people have come to rely upon the symbol’s unique positioning. This trademark gives consumers reassurance and they know they can rely on The Vegetarian Society.
We're also very proud to be approved as part of PETA’s (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) Beauty Without Bunnies program. This is the ultimate resource for conscientious shoppers. It makes the quest for cruelty-free products as easy as (vegan) pie! Our entire range is VEGAN approved and all products carry the well recognised PETA badge.
The PETA Program provides the best assurance that no animal testing is used in any phase of product development by a company, its laboratories, or suppliers.
'We are delighted to receive PETA approval! Although we know we would never test on animals and we check that our supply chain has the same principles, we wanted to let everyone else know exactly where we stand. Gaining third party recognition from such a well-respected organisation will therefore enable us to do just that. ' Rebecca, founder - Conscious Skincare
You can also visit the PETA online database and search by company name or product type to learn which products are cruelty-free. And when you’re out shopping, look for PETA’s cruelty-free bunny logos (pictured above). Products which display this logo are cruelty-free, meaning that they are produced without testing on animals. Find out more about the PETA programme.
Naturewatch Foundation is a registered charity, working hard to improve the lives of animals. Their goal is to end animal cruelty and advance animal welfare standards around the world.
