Cargill Beauty - Quality & Certifications

Quality & Certifications

At Cargill Beauty, it is our purpose to enable the sustainable growth of our customers by providing a broad portfolio of nature-derived, performant & cost-efficient personal care ingredients combined with a deep application expertise. To help you navigate the complexity of regulatory challenges, we rely on a range of certifications and industry standards for the qualification of our ingredients. Next to that we have a dedicated team of regulatory experts that can help you with the positioning of your next product launch.


We work along the following industry standards:

 

ISO  

ISO 16128

the globally recognized industry standard which determines the % of naturalness of an ingredient or product. There are currently two main categories:

Natural ingredients: Cosmetic ingredients obtained only from plants, animals, micro-organisms or minerals, including those obtained from these materials by physical processes, fermentation reactions occurring in nature and leading to molecules which occur in nature, and other procedures of preparation including traditional ones without intentional chemical modification The following materials, and materials originating from them, shall be considered to fall under the general heading of natural origin: plants including fungi and algae; minerals, animals, micro-organisms.

Nature-derived ingredients: Nature-derived ingredients are cosmetic ingredients of greater than 50 % natural origin, by molecular weight, by renewable carbon content, or by any other relevant method, obtained through defined chemical and/or biological processes with the intention of chemical modification.

   

 

 

COSMOS  

COSMOS

COSMOS stands for "COSMetic Organic and Natural Standard", which sets certification requirements for organic and natural cosmetics products in Europe. The standard is recognized globally by the cosmetic industry. By adhering to specific guidelines, cosmetics marketers can use COSMOS signatures, which are registered trademarks, on packaging to confirm the products meet minimum industry requirements to be considered organic or natural.

   

 

 

NATRUE  

NATRUE

The NATRUE Label sets a high standard when it comes to defining the naturalness of cosmetic products. It helps consumers identify Natural and Organic Cosmetics truly worthy of that name. To date, thousands of products worldwide carry the NATRUE Label and many more are in the process of certification. When the NATRUE Label appears on a package, you can be sure that the product it contains is not only compliant with a strict standard but also that a reliable certification process has been carried out by independent certification bodies which are themselves subjected to a rigorous accreditation process with NATRUE’s partner IOAS.

   

 

 

READILY BIODEGRADABLE  

READILY BIODEGRADABLE (ACCORDING TO OECD 301B)

This standard determines the biodegradability of raw materials. A product is considered as readily biodegradable if the biodegradation rate has reached at least 60% in the 10-day interval.

   

 

 

VEGAN.ORG SUITABLE  

VEGAN.ORG SUITABLE

The Certified Vegan Logo is a registered trademark, similar in nature to the kosher mark, for products that do not contain animal products or byproducts and that have not been tested on animals.

   

 

 

Halal  

HALAL

For the product to be halal certified each raw material, processing aid ingredients, processing, sanitation chemicals and packaging meet the Islamic dietary requirements, primarily that no alcohol or pork products are used.

   

 

 

Kosher  

KOSHER

For a product to be kosher certified, and to qualify for a kosher certificate, each ingredient, food additive and processing aid used in its production must also be kosher. Additionally, to be kosher certified, the production process must be suitable for kosher requirements and therefore it must be approved by a kosher auditor.
