Organic Certification and miessence®
miessence® is currently the only skin care product on
the planet that has submitted to, and complies with, the
rigorous processing and labeling requirements for
certified organic food products.
Be concerned about the impact that toxic chemicals and
pollutants have on our health, our communities and our
planet. Making the right choices will bring
health and wellness.
|
Keeping toxic and persistent chemicals out of the
environment helps us leave a healthy and safe planet for
future generations.
We need to stop using harmful chemicals and instead make
effective use of the world’s natural resources. Organic
living is about working in harmony with, and not
against, nature.
Certified Organic Products are grown and
processed without the use of synthetic chemicals,
fertilisers, or GMO's. Avoid as many
toxic chemicals as you
can. Make a positive difference to your own health by
choosing organic and
natural
personal care and skin care products.

International Organic Certifications
Currently, body care products are not required to comply
with the stringent organic food standards maintained by
certification bodies such as the BFA and NASAA in
Australia and the USDA in America, hence the plethora of
so many "organic" body care products now on the market.
Since water is the primary ingredient in many cosmetics,
some manufacturers are claiming to use organic
hydrosols, or floral water, to green wash their products
and make organic label claims whilst using the same
synthetic toxic ingredients that would NEVER be allowed
in organic food products. We believe this practice has
the potential to destroy the integrity of the organic
name.
There are two levels of certification for organic food
products that miessence® skin care products comply with:
