ORGANIC INGREDIENTS
| When a cream is certified organic, it means that its formula contains organic ingredients.
So, what is an organic ingredient ? It is a vegetable ingredient, meaning that it comes from platns, and that these are grown without chemical fertilizers or pesticides. Only the good stuff ! If we take a closer look, what does that mean ? |

20% ORGANIC INGREDIENTS, doesn’t seem like a lot… does it ?Creams contain a lot of water, generally amouting to 60 and 80% of the product; which means… that even if it is natural, it does not come from plants, and it is therefore not certifiable as organic.
WHAT ABOUT THAT 5% IN NON-NATURAL INGREDIENTS ?They are mainly preservatives, that are essential to preserve product quality. They are part of limited and clearly defined list, that excludes any potentially harmful substances, such as : Phenoxyethanol, Silicones, Parabens, Glycol ethers, PEG (polyethylene glycol), Paraffin, Benzophenone, Chemical UV filters, GMOs… |
SO, HOW DO YOU FIND OUT THAT A COSMETIC IS ORGANIC ?In 2002, a group of about 10 natural and organic cosmetic laboratories joined forces to create a charter of organic standards : COSMEBIO, to define what an organic cream may contain, or not, so that consumers have a real guarantee regarding the ingredients found in their creams ! ECOCERT is an international and independant organization that ensures that Eau Thermale Jonzac® products, their manufacturing process, the raw materials and packaging used all comply with Cosmebio standards. |
