Organic Cosmetics Certification is Voluntary

Soil Association UK

What does it mean if a beauty product is organic? A COSMOS organic product must contain. ingredients that have been grown on an organic farm.

 Organic is a way of farming that works with nature. Soil Association certified organic farmers and businesses work to a strict set of standards. These ensure that their products sustain the health of wildlife, nature and people. For COSMOS organic look for the organic certification logo shown here. Unless a product is certified, there’s no guarantee that it will be 100 percent organic. So, look for a symbol from an independent certifier, like Soil Association Certification. You'll then know that every step of the production process is checked.

 

Beware of greenwashing 

Many people are unaware that organic skin care is not legally regulated in the same way as organic food and drink. Skincare and toiletries can be called organic and natural, even if they contain a tiny percentage of organically grown ingredients and / or are mostly synthetic. 

 

The only way to be sure that the product you are using is genuinely organic is to use products that are certified by a recognised and independent organic body. Watch out for fake logos too!
