Labeling - Communication
The proposed labeling that you are required to submit must comply with the standard (p.13) and the general regulation
1- Finished cosmetic product:
Summary of standard requirements:
INCI list with an asterisk alongside the ORGANIC ingredients referring to the phrase "ingredient produced by organic farming" unless the product is 100% ORGANIC
XX% of the total ingredients are of natural origin [1]
XX% of the total ingredients are produced by Organic Farming (if the product is 100% ORGANIC this description will suffice) [1]
Ecological and Organic cosmetics certified by ECOCERT SAS - BP 47- 32600 L’Isle-Jourdain [1]
Furthermore, no logos other than the Ecocert logo should appear alongside the ECOCERT reference so as to avoid any confusion of terms (special dispensation if packaging is too small).
The name of the certified product should not refer to the term ORGANIC unless it is a 100% ORGANIC product, or there is a phrase specifying what is ORGANIC: Example: The description ‘ORGANIC toothpaste’ or ‘ORGANIC cream’ are not permitted.
The description ‘massage oil with organic ginger’ is permitted
2 – Raw material for cosmetics:
In this case, the reference to certification is modified:
The phrases required are as follows:
"Raw material certified by Ecocert SAS BP 47 32600 L’Isle Jourdain in accordance with the Ecological and Organic Cosmetics standard"
XX% of total ingredients are of natural origin
XX% of total ingredients are produced by Organic Farming (if the product is 100% ORGANIC this description will suffice)
[1] The last 3 phrases should be grouped together
