Welcome to the world of real organics

 

 

There are no shortage of companies labelling their products and/or themselves organic, natural and even certified organic;
it sells!

Our company motto reads:

Without Compromise, REAL Organic Body Care.
 

Why do we highlight the word real, surely there's no way to compromise in certified organics?

       

EVERY PRODUCT


is ACO Certified Organic; face, body, dental
and hair care.



No loopholes ! No compromises !

In June 2009 we became the first and only company in the world to achieve this.

Important things discovered about the cosmetics industry

 

 

 

Australian Certified Organic is the gold standard for real high-level cosmetics certification; there is no higher standard in Australia. Here are 3 examples

 

 

 

      • Real certification requires at least 95% of ingredients by mass be certified organic. Other certifiers accept as little as 20% or less.
      • Real certification won’t allow use of synthetic vitamins (eg. pro-vitamin B5) or synthetic surfactants (eg. coco glucoside, coco betaine) while other Australian certifiers will allow these and other harmful synthetics.
      • Real certifiers like ACO not only prohibit toxic solvents being used as ingredients, they check if these toxins were used in the extraction of any other ingredients. Other Australian certifiers do not check; a loophole for toxins to silently enter products which still get labelled 'certified organic'.

 

So next time you see a company or product range claiming to be 'certified organic', take a closer look and see if their claim is real. Ask yourself:

Rest assured

 

    We are 100% cruelty free.


    Neither our products nor our ingredients have been tested on animals.
    Some companies still employ this cruel practice. 
 

 

    We are 100% vegan.


    Using animal parts for products or packaging is cruel, unhealthy & unnecessary.
 

    We are 100% palm oil free.


    Look for palm oil, palmitate or simply "vegetable" oil on labels.
    Some things like glycerine can be derived from palm oil without
    mentioning it on the label.
    
    We investigate our suppliers and their ingredients before purchasing.

Orang-utan Survival: It's In The Palm of Your Hand


Palm oil is a cheap, low quality oil but it's not toxic and you can source Palm oil which is certified organic and not tested on animals. So what's the problem with companies who use it for making junk-food, soap and other skincare products?

Demand for bigger Palm plantations causes expansive clearing of forests in south-east Asia. Those forests also happen to be the last remaining Orang-utan habitats.
