We are Fairglow, an environmental technology provider specialized in the cosmetic industry.
We are based in Paris, but are multi-national.
We provide detailed environmental-footprinting for cosmetic products. Which means calculating the carbon footprint, water footprint, land footprint, and many other impacts, for brands, manufacturers, or retailers of cosmetic products.
We do this by combining Life Cycle Analysis data and processes with data-science techniques, and applying them to specific problems in the cosmetic industry.
A confluence of factors, ability and necessity namely. We have a team comprised of people who have worked in cosmetic product analysis, data-science and carbon footprinting for companies. Combining all the skillsets to make a company to address carbon footprinting for cosmetics was a straightforward decision. We saw that cosmetic brands needed a solution that wasn’t being offered by current services providers. And, voilà.
Fairglow has several key differentiators:
We know data-gaps abound in sustainability. Our technology is designed to complement incomplete data, instead of breaking when faced with data-gaps. We have a suite of models and techniques that automatically help fill in the those gaps and get carbon estimations instantly. We talk more about our conditional interpolation algorithms in our white paper.
By working with cosmetics laboratories and environmental consultants, Fairglow has more data on cosmetic ingredients and processes than any other environmental footprinting company. In an industry where data is everything, this gives us a huge advantage over other environmental service providers.
The cosmetics industry is complicated and necessitates a focused approach to give good results. We spend all our time and effort on the cosmetics industry to make our software easier to use for brands, labs, and retailers of cosmetic goods.
