To raise awareness of the new Cosmetic Organic Standard (COSMOS), the Soil Association ran an organic beauty week, this month, collaborating with four European partners who hope to “Harmonize Organic Standards Globally”. This new standard has come about as faultfinding at the lack of clear, strict regulation of green, natural and organic claims in the beauty industry has been climbing. COSMOS’s new standard is available in two levels; Organic if the product is based on oils and extract then 95% of the ingredients must be organic and Natural if the products are made up of naturally sourced products that can, if they want to, contain organic ingredients.
