Orbit Index
The Orbit Index™ is our proprietary evaluation system — designed to highlight brands that meet our standards for non-toxic, ethical, and planet-conscious living across the Luv Star galaxy.
Luv Star is not about perfection — it’s about intention, transparency, and progress.
How It Works
Every Orbit Index badge is independently researched, editorially assigned, and updated as brands evolve. We evaluate ingredient safety, ethical practices, and environmental impact — then we show our work.
Our ratings are research-based, editorially independent, and updated as brands evolve.

How It Works
Methodology
How every Orbit Index badge is earned.
01
Research
We review brand policies, sourcing practices, third-party certifications, and publicly available testing data.
02
Ingredients Check
We screen for known toxins, synthetic fragrances, and flagged ingredients using leading health and safety references.
03
Impact Review
We evaluate packaging, shipping practices, refill programs, and give-back initiatives for measurable environmental and social impact.
04
Verification
We look for third-party certifications, independent lab testing, or transparent self-reporting. Claims without evidence don’t earn badges.
05
Badges & Revisions
Badges are assigned editorially and revisited as brands evolve. If a formula, sourcing practice, or policy changes — so does the badge.
Disclaimer: Orbit Index badges reflect best-effort research and editorial judgment based on publicly available information. Always review product labels and consult brands directly for the most current details.
