Organic cosmetics: Agree evidence and calculation support
An organic raw-material certificate, finished-product assessment and label permission are distinct outcomes. An oil's name alone does not satisfy COSMOS ORGANIC requirements.
Agree evidence and calculation support
If consultancy promises ORGANIC approval from one supplier certificate, request a complete formula and evidence review instead. Agree material-identity matching, organic-content calculations, missing supplier queries and label checks with versioned outputs. The actual authorised body decides acceptance and licence. A consultant cannot increase unsupported organic content or treat a supply shortage as permission to waive conditions.
Programme conditions and worked assessment
Example: A brand states the percentage within its organic ingredients as the organic percentage of the entire product. Separate quantities and calculation denominator and compare the claim with the labelling guide. Manufacturer and material coverage must match the formula. Do not conclude product approval from the oil alone without explaining water and other components. NATURAL assessment is not an ORGANIC licence. The authorised body evaluates the calculation and label; a consultant cannot grant signature permission or expand the accepted product scope.
Evidence and authority boundary
Use COSMOS v4.2, labelling guidance and the authorised-body register. Organic claims are not therapeutic, risk-free or cosmetic-safety determinations.
