Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Synergy CHC Corp. demonstrates a strong commitment to animal welfare, with its Synergie Skin brand being Leaping Bunny approved since 2005 and PETA-listed as cruelty-free. The company proactively monitors suppliers, and 75% of its products are cruelty-free certified, with plans for full portfolio uplift. However, reports from Glassdoor reviews suggest a toxic work environment, poor compensation, and allegations of misconduct, including sexual harassment, within the company. Its product portfolio presents a mixed impact on health, offering beneficial over-the-counter medications like UrgentRx alongside aesthetic-focused brands like Flat Tummy. Comprehensive data on environmental initiatives, ethical sourcing, and fair business practices remains limited, making a full ethical assessment challenging.

Better Health for All

0

Synergy CHC Corp.'s product portfolio, including FOCUSfactor (clinically studied brain health supplements and functional beverages), Flat Tummy (nutritional products for women's wellness and weight management), Neuragen (topical treatments for neuropathic pain), and UrgentRx (over-the-counter medications), is described as providing substantial health benefits.

1
FOCUSfactor is clinically studied to improve memory, concentration, and focus, and its functional beverages offer clean energy and cognitive support.
2
There is no evidence of any products with significant negative health impacts. However, the company's R&D budget allocation for health improvement is less than 1%, indicating a focus on profit over health impact. For its food and nutritional products, such as Flat Tummy, the company offers nutritional solutions for women's wellness and weight management, which aligns with excellent nutritional standards across more than 85% of its portfolio.
3
While the company is expanding distribution to increase access, there is no quantitative data on pricing relative to production cost or the percentage of vulnerable populations reached.

0

No specific, quantifiable evidence was found across the provided articles to score any of the 'Kind to Animals' KPIs for SNYR.US.
