How Is a Natural/Organic Cosmetics Certificate Obtained?

Cosmetics certification consists of application, ingredient and formula review, facility inspection and approval.

The process begins with an application to an authorized certification body. All of the brand's product formulas, ingredient lists and supplier information are reviewed.

The source of each ingredient and its compliance with the standard are evaluated; the production facility and hygiene conditions are inspected.

When the criteria are met, the certificate is issued and the brand earns the right to use the logo. The certificate is maintained through periodic audits.
