What is Transparent Sourcing?
Transparent sourcing involves disclosing where and how ingredients are obtained, including supplier locations, harvesting methods, and social/environmental impact of extraction.
However, supply chain transparency varies dramatically—some brands provide detailed supplier maps while others offer vague origin stories. True transparency includes both positive and negative aspects of sourcing, addresses supply chain challenges, and provides actionable information for consumers.
The most transparent brands share specific supplier information, acknowledge sourcing challenges, and provide regular updates on supply chain improvements rather than presenting idealized narratives without substance.

How We Evaluate Transparent Sourcing
We evaluate sourcing transparency by examining supplier disclosure and geographic specificity, harvesting and extraction method documentation, social and environmental impact assessment and reporting, and regular supply chain update communication.
We assess whether brands address sourcing challenges honestly and provide actionable information for consumers. Higher scores require comprehensive supply chain mapping with verified supplier relationships and impact data.
