PRODUCTION LOCATIONS

WORKING CONDITIONS & WAGES

Ecocert and Bureau Veritas monitor the entire production and supply chain. These audits are carried out at least once a year and ensure that both raw material producers and suppliers comply with the defined ecological and ethical standards.

Part of the packaging comes from China. In this case, suppliers there must adhere to strict codes of conduct regarding production methods and materials used.

MATERIALS

• No specific details provided.

The products are certified COSMOS Organic and COSMOS Natural, which ensures a high proportion of natural and organic ingredients and excludes genetic engineering and harmful chemicals.

PACKAGING

• According to its website, Couleur Caramel uses biodegradable packaging. 
  Some products are offered in refillable tins with magnetic closures and cardboard-based cylindrical boxes. However, for shipping from the online shop itself, there are no details about the materials used.
• There is also no specific information about packaging used in the supply chain (transport, storage, wholesale).

WATER USE & CHEMICALS

Couleur Caramel does not communicate any specific measures regarding water use, chemical management, microplastic release, or dyeing and bleaching processes.

The company highlights that it works with organic and ecological certification and labels part of its products as vegan.

Couleur Caramel offers a refill model for many products, allowing packaging to be reused multiple times and reducing waste.

SUPPLY CHAIN DISTANCE & COMPLEXITY

• No details about production sites.
• Couleur Caramel HQ is based in France.

TRANSPORT 

• Couleur Caramel provides no information on how products are transported between production sites, warehouses, and retail partners.
• No details are available either for shipping to end customers via the online shop, such as the use of delivery providers or eco-friendlier options like climate-neutral shipping.

The products are generally cruelty-free and in some cases vegan.

PRODUCT DESIGN

Couleur Caramel offers a wide range of cosmetics, including make-up for complexion, eyes, lips, and nails, as well as accessories.
The collections stand out for their wide choice of shades and textures, catering to different skin types and styles.

PRODUCT TRANSPARENCY

On Couleur Caramel’s product pages, information is mainly provided about colour, texture, and product application. Capacity is listed, and features such as ​“organic” or ​“vegan” are highlighted, along with practical packaging details.

However, detailed information about ingredients, production countries, or materials used is missing. There are also no details about traceability, so customers cannot see where their product was made or which supply chains are involved.

PROCESS TRANSPARENCY

Couleur Caramel shares only very limited information about its processes and suppliers. It emphasises that the products are organic, ecological, and partly vegan, and that potentially biodegradable packaging is used.

There are no specific details about suppliers, production locations, or collaboration within the supply chain. As a result, consumers cannot tell where a particular product was made or which raw material sources were used.
