Determination of the level of naturalness of cosmetics depends on the region or country in which it is produced or sold. In Europe, the USA and Canada, in order to indicate on the packaging about the natural or organic products, it is necessary to pass the appropriate certification according to the highest standards. For example, according to European standards, natural cosmetics must contain at least 70% of herbal ingredients. Organics - respectively more than 95%. GMOs, silicones, parabens and other harmful substances should be completely absent. In addition, Europeans for natural and organic cosmetics make high demands on the origin of the raw materials from which it is produced.
In other regions, depending on the country, many local manufacturers of cosmetics, speaking of the naturalness of products, mean only the presence of plant components in the composition. It can be one ingredient that makes up 1% of the product. In addition, such cosmetics in the total mass may contain elements harmful to the skin.
It is not necessary to compare the quality of cosmetics in the first and second cases, it is better to immediately see what certification the product has passed.
