Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to find any public information on ColourPop’s sustainability, environmental, and social initiatives.

Giving Back Initiatives: ColourPop sometimes releases limited edition products where 100% of net proceeds go to animal protection organizations but I couldn’t find any other information about ongoing contributions.

Ingredients and Formulations Claims: Only ColourPop’s Lippie formula claims to not “contain any nasty ingredients like Parabens or Sulfates.” I couldn’t find any other product claims.
