Natural cosmetics: Create a complete material-to-formula file
Define the natural claim, target market and intended programme. General natural marketing and a proprietary programme signature require different evidence and permission checks.
Create a complete material-to-formula file
A trade-name extract appears under two supplier codes in one formula. Reconcile INCI, manufacturer, composition, processing and quantities for the actual version. Keep raw-material database status distinct from final-product certification. CosIng can support ingredient-name research but is not legal approval or a safety verdict. Do not fill an unknown carrier with an assumed plant origin.
Programme conditions and worked assessment
Example: A range collects botanical oil documents but leaves preservatives and other ingredient processes unknown. Explain the full formula and material identities and verify what the percentage calculation includes. Review manufacture, packaging and claims under the actual programme. One natural raw material does not establish that the finished product meets every condition. Obtain buyer expectations and licensing goals in writing. Keep uncertain processing as supplier-dependent work rather than hiding it under a “natural” heading or promising product approval in advance.
Evidence and authority boundary
The COSMOS owner publishes v4.2 and the labelling guide; verify authorised bodies separately. Natural claims do not replace cosmetic-safety or applicable legal duties.
