Rating Summary

Nature & Animals

Products are plant-based, palm-oil free and MADE SAFE certified, the strictest ingredient screen in the industry, with no dyes, preservatives, phthalates or synthetic fragrances.

They come in reusable paper-and-steel canisters with low-waste refills, bars and concentrates.

The formulas are vegan.

Communities & Wellbeing

As a Certified B Corporation with a very high impact score, Meliora meets an independently assessed bar on workers and community, and it makes its products in-house in the United States with full ingredient transparency.

Values & Governance

The brand lists every ingredient publicly, recertifies as a B Corporation, is a member of 1% for the Planet, and commits 2% of revenue to environmental and charitable nonprofits including Women’s Voices for the Earth. Meliora reports WBENC women-owned business certification, which we could not confirm because that registry is not public.

Product Performance

Customer reviews are strongly positive, at about 5 stars across roughly 900 reviews, with the laundry and cleaning products praised as effective.

This initial rating was assessed on 9 July 2026 from public information, using meliorameansbetter.com, the B Lab directory, MADE SAFE, and customer reviews.

Is this your brand?

This initial rating is based on information that Meliora has made public. Our full rating lets brands evidence more and generally receive a higher rating. For Meliora, that could include a company climate footprint and target, an energy disclosure, Leaping Bunny certification, a biodiversity policy, and ingredient-sourcing detail.

A full rating also unlocks your brand’s tier badge here and in every guide that features you. It also includes a badge licence for your own site. There is a fee for a full rating. The process takes a couple of weeks and about two hours of your team’s time.

"The whole process was authentic and I felt that you held me accountable for our claims."
