How It Works

Science-Based Environmental Assessment for Beauty and Personal Care Products

New Sky supports beauty brands and retailers with carbon footprinting and life cycle assessment (LCA) to inform product design, sustainability strategy, and credible environmental communication.

Our work follows internationally recognized standards and is adapted to each product and business context.

Our assessments analyze the impactful stages of the product’s life cycle:

  • Raw material sourcing

  • Manufacturing and formulation

  • Packaging

  • Distribution

  • Use phase (where relevant)

  • End-of-life

The assessment scope is defined at project start based on product type, data availability, and the intended use of results.

New Sky’s assessments are conducted in line with recognized international standards, such as:

  • GHG Protocol Product Standard / ISO 14067 (Carbon footprint of products)

  • ISO 14040 / 14044 (Life Cycle Assessment)

  • Product Category Rules (PCRs), where available

Studies are designed to support internal decision-making and, where appropriate, external reporting or communication.

Standards Based Methodology

Data Collection Approach

Primary data

  • Product formulation and ingredient information

  • Supplier or manufacturing data, when available

Secondary data

  • Peer-reviewed LCA databases

  • Industry-relevant background datasets

Data sources, assumptions, and limitations are documented transparently and discussed with clients throughout the project.

  • Product carbon footprinting

  • Packaging or formulation comparisons

  • Identification of environmental hotspots

  • Eco-design and improvement scenarios

  • Support for sustainability reporting and claims
