KYPRIS

KYPRIS lacks third-party ingredient certifications (no MADE SAFE, COSMOS, EWG Verified, or NATRUE)—relying instead on self-declared 'clean' positioning, which caps P1 cert sub-score at 4/12. While founder Joanne Morar has published independent research on bioavailability and the brand discloses active concentrations (e.g., L-ascorbic acid at clinically relevant levels in C Serum), no brand-funded RCT data is published, capping P2 efficacy at 6/8. Packaging remains primarily virgin glass with minimal PCR or take-back infrastructure—no mail-in or in-store recycling program disclosed beyond generic TerraCycle references. Supply-chain ethics for botanicals lack Fair Trade certification or named direct-partnership disclosure; no documented traceability for mica or sourcing transparency for high-risk inputs. B Corp and GOTS claims are listed but GOTS typically applies to textiles—verification of active B Corp status and scope is recommended. Core range (C Serum, Hydra Youth Oil, Barrier Repair Serum) shows 8–10 year stability and founder-stated commitment to small permanent assortment, supporting P4 aesthetic longevity score, but limited public ESG audit or supply-chain risk mapping undermines ethics pillar.
