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?

Shared equipment, storage and personnel flows can create unexpected contamination. Assess the real contact points, cleaning method and verification records rather than relying on the product name.

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:

  • Cross-Contamination Risk Assessment for Vegan Products in Mixed Facilities · current formula, INCI list and raw-material specifications
  • Shared equipment, storage and personnel flows can create unexpected contamination. Assess the real contact points, cleaning method and verification records rather than relying on the product name. · manufacturer and supplier origin or conformity declarations
  • Treating a written cleaning instruction as if it had been verified on the line. · 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.
