Organic
regulations
|
EU and FDA regulate the color pigments and the sun screen ingredients, that
can be used in Cosmetics. Because both of these areas are regulated, we can
only use what is allowed. Our posters and literature advise our customers, that it is in these areas our products are not made from natural
ingredients. However we meet all the qualifications to say our products are
organic, because the color and the sun screen ingredients, make up less than
5% of our formula. See the regulations below:
100 percent organic: Only products that have been exclusively produced using
organic methods and that contain only organic ingredients (excluding water
and salt) are allowed to carry a "100 percent organic" label.
Organic: This
signifies that at least 95 percent of the ingredients (by weight, excluding
water and salt) in a processed product have been organically produced. The
remaining contents must be natural or synthetic ingredients not available in
an organic form that are recommended by the National Organic Standards Board
and allowed on the National List.
Made with organic: Products with at
least 70 percent organic ingredients may display "Made with organic [with up
to three specific organic ingredients or food groups listed]" on the front
panel. Products with less than 70 percent organic ingredients can list the
organic items only in the ingredient panel. There can be no mention of
organic on the main panel.
Consumers choosing organic products have the assurance that by doing so they
are supporting farmers committed to maintaining the long-term health of our
environment. Beet Juice, henna, carmine, turmeric Carmel, iron oxide and
mica are the only natural color ingredients allowed at this time for
cosmetic use and from that group, only Carmel, iron oxide, mica and carmine
are the only ones that are approved for use on the lips. Carmine is made
animals and our products are vegan so it is not used. The other natural
color that is approved from this group of color, for the lip area, will not
provide the colors needed to create acceptable lip color.

The only HEALTHY alternative to Lip Stick!!!
CTFA and FDA provide a list of approved pigments- 'May contain' is followed by the approved pigment list, weather or not each of the pigments is used in each lip colors- This gives the manufacture trade secret rights and also allows them to list the ingredients only once even though each of their lip colors does not contain the full list of pigments. The pigment list is all of the approved pigments for the lips, eyes or face and one or more of the pigments may be used in any lip colors and because each lip color blend is different., the pigment list is a catch all to cover any pigment that may be used in the product but it may not and does not need to be present in all of them .
A patch test can be performed if anyone feels that they might have a reaction to an ingredient- simply paint a small area on the inside of the arm and wait 24 hours to see if there is any reaction. We do not use aluminum in our products. Minerals may contain it in trace amounts but FDA has done the appropriate testing to make sure it is at a safe level before we receive it as a pigment in pigment blending.
