How to recognize truly natural cosmetics
People today are more health-conscious and environmentally conscious and therefore want to use cosmetics that are environmentally friendly. The market is responding and offering more and more 'natural' products. But beware, not all products that claim to be natural are really nature-friendly. In some countries, the rules for labelling natural products are not strict, so it is easy to get confused.
To make sure customers are buying truly natural cosmetics, organisations have been set up to certify products. These organisations have strict rules on the composition of the products, prohibit the use of harmful substances and require organic production. The emphasis is mainly on the natural origin of the ingredients, which should come from organic farming. The certificates also guarantee that the products have not been tested on animals and are not involved in the destruction of tropical forests. When you see the logo of these certification companies on cosmetics, you can be sure that you are buying a product that is truly environmentally friendly.
