Proof Point Basis

The Organic Ingredients proof point highlights the proportion of organic content in a product. What "organic" means is defined by Regulation (EU) 2018/848, certified per ingredient by an accredited certification body (COSMOS, BIOGRO, Soil Association etc). The threshold set out for this proof point is: at least 20% of the total product must be organic (10% for rinse-off, non-emulsified aqueous, or mineral-dominant products) The threshold is taken from COSMOS-standard v4.1.
