Looking at the parent company can usually answer this, for example both brands you listed are owned by SC Johnson. The ingredients may be better but most of the “eco friendly” brands you see on chain retailer shelves are not actually sustainable due to their parent companies. If you have the money to spend on eco friendly brands do not spend it on brands like that.

Probably the most eco-friendly option would be homemade cleaners, though, since you can still get a very effective clean with really basic ingredients like vinegar.

It's honestly a shame that Unilever has dominated so much of the market. Seventh Gen and Ben & Jerry's used to be small Vermont based companies. They are still based here and many of their ethical processes have remained steadfast or even expanded, but now the allure is a profit motive for their less than ethical corporate overlords. I work at a similarly structured company and it is a struggle, but most companies can't remain independent forever if they are growing to the point of national or global outreach. It's a catch-22 in corporate capitalist America.

Came here to say something like this! I don’t think her review of 7th gen was very accurate...there were lots of independent green brands that were purchased by conglomerates in the mid 00’s when it turned out that the environment wasn’t just a trend, and the large companies provided distribution and better $ structuring so the companies wouldn’t go out of business and could land corporate deals which might not sound cool on KZread but has to be true to be sustainable. Some companies retained lots of control over their product, while others (Annie’s, for example) merged more with their new parent. Not everyone is going to hunt online for sustainable companies that might maybe make products that work before they go out of business. I wish she understood more about corporate trees if she’s going to do vids like this 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

Unilever just skims off the top and should by no means blow the wind out of their "sales".

Omg! I found a pair of Girlfriend Collective leggings for my daughter at Goodwill for $7! I didn’t know the brand but I googled them and knew it was a steal.

As someone who was raised on organic foods (I’m 29 for context so like I’m old) I’ve been aware of and looking into sustainable/organic/environmentally friendly practices for years. organic cotton isn’t actually more sustainable. It’s sort of a catch 22, because on the one hand pesticides are bad for rivers, wildlife, and humans when they get into the water supply, but organic crops in general take up more land and the yields are lower so it’s not more sustainable in terms or land usage and deforestation, but it is more sustainable in terms of pesticide and inorganic phosphate fertilizer use.

Hi Shelbi! Thank you so much for spotlighting us in your video! As soon as you kick stared the segment with 'a great brand', it gave me such warm fuzzies. But hold the phone - to make it to God Tier, what an honour! It's so greatly appreciated that our efforts towards sustainability are recognised - not only by you but also by our lovely customers who I see lurking in your comments section! Sustainability is our jam and we do not take it lightly. To us, sustainability is far more than being plastic-free, it’s about what’s inside the bars and who is part of the whole process, from harvesting of the ingredients (as you touched based on), to staff selling the products (we are certified living wage employers). Social and economic sustainability is just as important as environmental. 💚 While our website is jam-packed with a lot of information, if you or anyone who sees this comment thinks we are missing some information, do let us know! We are open to complete transparency and want to ensure that anything a consumer would want to know is readily available on our website 😊. Lastly, this video overall is in God Tier on its own!

I absolutely LOVE this format! There are so many brands and this puts them into such a concise, easy-to-understand display, I would love to see more of these as general overviews of companies!

To me the quality of the clothing goes hand in hand with how sustainable it is because it reduces the need to continue re-buying the same thing. I bought underwear from pact that were literally unraveling before I even tried them. All of my everlane shirts got saggy necks after maybe 2 years, the only other shirt in my wardrobe like that was 10 years old. (Although I do wear my everlane coat daily in the winter) I just ordered from Kotn because they seem to be high quality. They don't use organic cotton but they're a B corp and all of the manufacturing steps are done locally and ethically in Egypt. I buy most of my clothes secondhand so I'm not against buying a few basics that aren't totally perfect. Shelbi covered a lot but there are a TON of "sustainable" brands nowadays and choosing who to buy from can be exhausting when you're just trying to clothe yourself lol. Also about Patagonia Shelbi kinda mentioned the selling back side but they have a separate website where you can buy used/refurbished patagonia items.

What a great idea! When getting started it can be hard to distinguish the good from the bad

I reduced my meat consumption, boycott fast fashion, have a menstrual cup and reusable pads, do zero waste or low waste with many things. My mother is beginning to do the same and she even started composting and she is trying to be a minimalist. Thank you for everything you give to us. You are the best and you are doing all the good that we need

Illuminati just did a video on how they got their start, and they kind of used green washing really heavily, and then they were bought out by a major corporation, so I don't know all the details... But my guess is they probably don't score super well.

I would love to see this video with more mainstream brands! Trying to buy sustainable where possible but it isn't always a possibility:)

Love this concept, please make it a series! I’d love to hear about cleancult, reformation, sezane, & other stories, bite, etc.

Hi shelbie! This year I took your advice to heart and emailed my city hall to ask them to install recycling bins where I live! Not even a week has passed and they already put them in place! I can't believe it took me so long to act on it and it was literally the easiest thing ever!!! Thank you so much ️

Oh I’m so excited about ethique! I just ordered one of their conditioner concentrates. Hoping it works for me!

I'm soooo pumped to hear your thoughts on Ethique. I absolutely love their brand, their products, and their mission. Their bars are fantastic, but their new concentrates line is a game changer. I bought the whole line and am loving it all.

Would love to see Lucy and yak, woronstore, people tree, jungle folk, colourful standard, nudie jeans, Swedish stockings and underprotection 😊

Yes😍

I would love a review of some men’s clothing brands like Taylor Stitch. Also, thank you for doing this! I have learned so much!

Also the editing on this video is fire!! I can’t wait to finish the video🔥 ❤️

Thank you SO much for making this video! I’ve been trying to make my house more environmentally friendly and I’ve been having so much decision fatigue. No matter how much I research it’s really hard for me to tell which companies are legitimately environmentally conscious. Please do more of these videos!!

can you do nespresso? their recycling program states the aluminum in the pods is recycled and the grounds are reused in agriculture :)

I could not think of a more environmentally damaging company than nestle

I'm from Brazil and nespresso is pretty big over here, nevertheless they do not offer a recycling program. Probably because there's no demand for it, which says a lot about them.

@Meg Mez this is just one example and There are definitely more, but in my area, nestle has taken water from numerous private properties depleting the natural resources so they can package it in plastic and ship it around the country. In many cases they are depleting aquifers that’s people rely on for household use and those people have no way of stopping them from doing so

This video is god tier. Thank you for doing this!!

I’m so glad you love Blueland! I have been switching all my cleaning and laundry supplies to them

That was amazing! So in-depth and informative. I really appreciate all the work you did for this video. Thank you!

I love this. I'm wondering about a couple brands: Rothy's and 4Ocean. What do you know about them.

This video was so interesting! Could you review Tentree next video?

I really really love videos like this!! I share so much of the information I learn from your page with my friends who are newbs to sustainability. Keep it up!

I've sort of fallen out of sustainability the past year with the pandemic and my mental health, but I've really been enjoying your videos and they've been inspiring me to get back into research and writing!

I love this video and ranking system. I don't know how you ensure your content is always so pertinent and informative. I always look forward to your videos. I would love to know your thoughts on Oatly. Some people have stopped rating them due to the 10% passive Blackstone investment.

I pretty much know how you feel about them but would love to see Tentree in the next ranking. Also would love to hear your thoughts on their new Activewear line!

Your knowledge is phenomenal. Thank you for this. I’m at the start of my sustainable fashion journey and appreciate this so much.

Really, I can`t thank you enough for this kind of video you make. I`m actually from Brazil, so most of the brands you talk about, I don`t have access, but just knowing what to look for when I see a new brand thast seems good is already something so big! You`re amazing Shelby, thank you so much for your work
