A finished-product INCI list alone is not sufficient for vegan conformity. Starting materials, processing aids, carriers and parties controlled during manufacture may all require review. Because criteria vary between schemes, the current requirements of the selected mark must be defined in the file.

01

Why does this decision question matter?

A natural, organic, vegan or halal claim is assessed according to the meaning understood by the consumer. Logo, percentage, wording and digital promotion must share the same evidence and stay within what it proves.

02

What should the evidence file contain?

A single declaration is not enough. The review becomes meaningful when the following records identify the same product, formula version and supply chain:

  • Building an Evidence File for Vegan Logos and Product Claims · current formula, INCI list and raw-material specifications
  • A natural, organic, vegan or halal claim is assessed according to the meaning understood by the consumer. Logo, percentage, wording and digital promotion must share the same evidence and stay within what it proves. · manufacturer and supplier origin or conformity declarations
  • Using a certification logo for a broader claim than the technical file supports. · manufacturing flow, cleaning, batch and traceability records
  • Vegan Cosmetics · approved label, packaging artwork and change history
03

How should it be controlled in practice?

First define the product and target market, then turn the current rules of the selected scheme into a raw-material and process control matrix. Never accept an uncertain input by assumption: verify it at source. Link each conclusion to the formula version and batch evidence.
