Info Members: • Our main lobbying activity is to establish an appropriate and strict definition of authentic ‘natural’ and ‘organic’ cosmetics and support better regulation to prevent ‘greenwashing’.
• We also would like to work closely with the European Institutions to ensure safety and quality of natural and organic cosmetic ingredients and products (e.g. though REACH, Directive (1907/2006), and Regulation (EC) No 1223 2009 on cosmetic products).
