Ethical Profile

Mixed.

OneSpaWorld Holdings Limited has a mixed ethical profile. Its alignment with 'Kind to Animals' is questioned due to featured third-party brands like Kérastase and Elemis, which are reportedly not certified cruelty-free and allegedly test on animals where required by law, particularly in China. The company's focus on affluent customers and premium services means it doesn't directly address broader health disparities. Its environmental footprint is largely indirect, influenced by the cruise industry's substantial impact. While no specific issues were found, the unique cruise ship environment suggests potential challenges regarding fair worker treatment and transparent business practices.
