Why certify?
Organic beauty & wellbeing is blossoming
2024 saw 11% growth in sales of certified organic and natural beauty and wellbeing products, with consumers becoming ever more conscious of their environmental impact and demanding transparency.
Unlike food and drink, there are no legal guidelines in place for using the term ‘organic’ within the beauty industry. With 73% of consumers more likely to buy a certified product than non-certified, there has never been a better time to certify.
