Naturality, a trend or a “must-have” ?
Cosmetic consumers know what they want and especially what they don’t want. They are curious and want to know about the products they are going to buy and use on a daily basis. More than 60% of them are interested in the composition of their products, but are also concerned about the quality of the ingredients they contain and the manufacturing processes.
Natural” or “organic” cosmetic products are a real craze and motivate consumer purchases, especially since the COVID crisis which boosted their sales.
In cosmetics, the notion of naturality is framed by the ISO 16128 standard, which is the result of a joint reflection by the various players in the cosmetics industry. This standard (applicable to ingredients and finished products) describes the methods for calculating the Natural index, Natural Origin, Organic and Organic Origin Indices that apply to the categories of ingredients commonly used in cosmetics. ISO 16128 does not yet provide access to certification, unlike the “COSMOS APPROVED” label, which certifies the non-organic raw materials that may be used in cosmetic products certified according to the COSMOS standard.
MIYOSHI EUROPE no longer sees naturality as a trend, but rather as an established criterion in modern cosmetics. As a source of innovation and novelty, this notion is an integral part of our new developments.
65% of the materials in our catalog have a naturality index of 1 or a 100% natural content
