Hourglass ingredient report

We analysed 44 Hourglass 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.

How to read this report

Wrong claims vs the source

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.

'Fully vegan' / '100% vegan since 2020' is stated as fact across brand and press coverage but is a brand self-claim; no Vegan Society, Vegan Action, or PETA vegan-specific registry confirmation was found beyond the general (non-vegan-specific) cruelty-free listing, so 'certified vegan' should not be used, only 'brand states.' Also flag the parent-company caveat that applies to every Unilever-owned brand: PETA's own separate corporate profile for Unilever states that Unilever overall 'tests on animals' where legally required (e.g., mainland China), even though 20+ individual Unilever brands, Hourglass included, hold independent no-animal-testing certification from PETA or other bodies. 'Cruelty-free' should therefore be read as brand-specific, not as a description of parent-company-wide practice.

Sources checked:
crueltyfree.peta.org/company/hourglass-cosmetics-unilever/ (loaded; confirms cruelty-free + uses-logo badges, no vegan badge); unilever.com/news press release (2017 acquisition); wwd.com; happi.com.

Why there is no score: Partial read. No score is published. Ingredient lists were obtained for 44 of 68 products, 65 percent of the catalogue. The other 24 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 68 products, 44 with an ingredient list, 24 without.

Not yet independently verified. The certifications listed for this brand are as the brand states them. They have not yet been checked against the certifiers own registers, so they should be read as a claim rather than a confirmed fact.
