| Ingredient transparency | Full ingredient list read and categorised |
| Ownership | Byoma was launched in 2022 by Marc Elrick under his Future Beauty Labs incubator. Private equity firm Yellow Wood Partners later held a majority stake, which it sold to Bansk Group, the owner of Amika, Eva NYC and Ethique; that acquisition was announced in September 2025 and completed on September 10, 2025. Marc Elrick continues to lead the brand as founder and CEO under Bansk's ownership. The site is live and trading as of 2026. (Founder-led) |
| Where made | Contract manufacturers |
| Price | Budget |
| Cruelty free | Yes |
| Vegan | Yes |
| Organic | No |
| Certifications | PETA's Beauty Without Bunnies database lists Byoma as cruelty free, stating that neither ingredients nor finished products are tested on animals and that suppliers and third parties follow the same standard, and the listing also carries PETA's vegan marker. No listing for Byoma was found on Leaping Bunny's brand register (searched directly on leapingbunny.org with a working, zero result search), Change Climate's certified brand list, or the EWG Verified register, so those specific certifications should not be attributed to the brand. |
| Sold in mainland China | No, PETA and Cruelty-Free Kitty both list BYOMA as not sold in any market that requires animal testing. |
| Palm oil | No public disclosure found. |
| Packaging | Recyclable; refillable pods |
| Good On You | Listed in the Good On You beauty directory with the rating summary marked coming soon, so no score is published yet. |
| EWG | Individual BYOMA products are listed in EWG Skin Deep, but no brand-level EWG Verified status was found. |
| External ratings | CFK cruelty-free & vegan; PETA |
| Lab tested | Not publicly disclosed |
| Clinical studies | Not published |
| Controversies | No significant controversy found, though ownership moved again in 2025 when Bansk Group took a majority stake from Future Beauty Labs. |
| Caveat | Packaging is mono-material and refillable by design, but the brand publishes no sourcing, palm, mica or emissions data at all. |
Claims made for this brand that could not be confirmed in a certifier's own register. A brand website is a claim, not a source.
None found being made that conflict with the above; simply note that Leaping Bunny, B Corp, Change Climate and EWG Verified status are all unconfirmed for this brand and should not be claimed.

Why there is no score: Partial read. This verdict is provisional. Only part of the catalogue could be read and the certifications listed have not been checked against the certifiers own registers, so the evidence does not yet support a settled verdict. No score is published. Ingredient lists were obtained for 23 of 43 products, 53 percent of the catalogue. The other 20 products publish no ingredient list that could be read. A percentage drawn from part of a catalogue is not a figure for the range, so none is shown.
Catalogue 43 products, 23 with an ingredient list, 20 without.
Last checked 22 July 2026.
We analysed 23 BYOMA products, categorising every listed ingredient by function, origin (raw natural, naturally derived or synthetic) and safety concern. This is not the whole catalogue, so it is reported as a partial read. Percentages show the share of each formula that is natural or naturally derived.
Most common flags: alcohol, fragrance-free, fragrance-free body lotion gently, Fragrance, fragrance
Coverage: Partial read: ingredient lists were published for 23 of 43 products, 53 percent of the catalogue. No average is shown, because a figure drawn from part of a catalogue is not the figure for the range.
Analyst note: PARTIAL READ: ingredient lists were found for 23 of 43 products in the catalogue, 53 percent. The remaining products do not publish an ingredient list where it could be read automatically. Any average below is calculated on the 23 products read, and is not a figure for the whole range.
