How the score breaks down
How we know
Desk research, 19 September 2026. Every product page publishes a composition (65% bamboo viscose, 30% polyamide, 5% elastane) and states the socks are made in China; nothing in the range names an animal material, and the feed of 281 pieces agrees. B Corp status confirmed in B Lab’s register (certified October 2023, overall score 80.5), and the sustainability page publishes OEKO-TEX 100 for finished goods, STeP OEKO-TEX for the bamboo supplier and manufacturers, SEDEX or BSCI audits, annual emissions (51.66 tonnes) offset to Gold Standard, and a 2023 impact report. Manufacturers are given only as countries (Turkey, India, China) and the bamboo supplier is unnamed, so origin and supplier disclosure earn nothing yet. No vegan or no-animal-testing declaration is published; those criteria wait on the brand.
Questions people ask about Bare Kind
- Is Bare Kind vegan?
- On the published evidence we reviewed, we found no animal-derived materials in Bare Kind's current range. The brand has not yet confirmed that in writing, which is one of the things an audit asks for.
- Does Bare Kind test on animals?
- We found no evidence that it does. It has not yet given us a signed no-testing declaration, so we cannot confirm it either.
- What is Bare Kind's Fashion Without Cruelty score?
- 27 of 100, assessed from published evidence. 85 or more, with both gates clear and an evidence audit on file, earns the Good badge; 45 of the points still open depend on evidence only the brand can give.
- Can Bare Kind earn the Good badge?
- Yes, if it reaches 85 points and completes an evidence audit with us. Published evidence alone takes a brand to about 55.
