Who are Soil Association?
The Soil Association was founded in 1946 and are the UK’s largest organic certification body. Their standards set strict benchmarks for organic food production; packaging; animal welfare; wildlife conservation; residues and additives to reassure the buying public over the quality of products labelled organic.
By being certified by Soil Association it gives you the confidence and assurance that we have complete traceability of the supply chain for each ingredient in a product. This gives our customers the reassurance that what they are buying has been independently reviewed to include the source of ingredients, the formulation, as well as packaging, and that the product has been produced in the most sustainable way.
To carry the COSMOS Organic logo:
- For leave on products (i.e. face cream), 95% of all physically processed agro-ingredients must be organic and at least 20% of the total ingredients must be organic.
- For rinse off products (i.e. cleanser), 95% of all physically processed agro-ingredients must be organic and at least 10% of the total ingredients must be organic.
Agro-ingredients are any plant, animal or microbial product derived from agriculture, aquaculture or wild collection/harvest.
COSMOS Natural:
We use organic ingredients where possible and to carry the COSMOS Natural logo is assurance from Soil Association that, “those ingredients which cannot be organic are made using green chemistry principles, which means no toxins and no nasties.”
