Malacasa makes a number of claims related to the safety of their products, including asserting that they are lead and cadmium free. However, based on our research they don’t appear to provide any company-specific information about their ingredient and material safety or sustainability practices. Instead, they feature lots of content on their blog about these topics which appears to be designed to give consumers the impression that the company is taking action. None of that content is linked to information or data about Malacasa itself. Unfortunately, this “implied performance” strategy can be misleading and may be a form of greenwashing.

Hilde was not able to find any credible, publicly available information about the ingredient safety, sustainability, or accountability efforts at Malacasa during our research. In instances where the company does provide information about these topics, it was not relevant to any of the criteria included in our evaluation. Work on these issues may be occurring at the company but our research did not readily locate information about it at the time we conducted our review. Our research included but was not limited to reviewing content on webpages, reading company blog posts, looking through FAQs when available, doing sitewide keyword searches, and checking for reports across the website(s) that appear to be owned and operated by the company. We hope this company provides greater transparency about these important issues in the future.
