SGS,
the world’s leading testing, inspection and certification company, is helping
manufacturers of natural and organic cosmetic products gain a better understanding
of the benefits of NATRUE accreditation.
Consumers
are increasingly looking for cosmetic products that are natural and/or organic.
It is estimated the growing market for natural cosmetic products be worth USD
57 billion by 2027. For consumers, the difficulty is knowing when a product is
truly natural.
The
NATRUE label and standard can help manufacturers differentiate their products
in the marketplace. It can be applied to finished products, formulas, or raw
ingredients and can either be in the form of certification or approval. In the
case of finished products, manufacturers and brands can only seek certification
for their products.
Since
January 2020, raw materials have been eligible for the approval scheme.
Stakeholders should be aware of the following transition deadlines:
- January 31, 2022 – producers of raw materials currently used in NATRUE
certified finished products must have transitioned to either certification or
approval - February 1, 2020 – producers of finished products must only include
NATRUE certified or approved raw materials in their formulations
