Why Can't All Ingredients Be Certified Organic?
Introduction
Miessence, an innovative Australian manufacturer, has revolutionized the way Australians view organic and personal care products. Founded by the ONE Group (Organic and Natural Enterprise), Miessence witnessed a staggering sales increase of 2500% within just eighteen months. The brand has recently made its mark in the United States, growing rapidly and gaining popularity.
The Organic Movement
Consumers today are more conscious than ever about the ingredients in their products. Unfortunately, many manufacturers prioritize cost over health, using chemicals to preserve, color, and scent their products. While these methods keep prices low, they may have long-term impacts on our health and the environment. Miessence stands out in this landscape by offering certified organic products. However, the process of certifying non-food items is not as straightforward as it seems.
The Struggle for Certification
While Miessence certifies their personal care products to food-grade standards, true organic certification isn't always possible for every ingredient. This is largely because standards for non-food items like face creams and shampoos are not well-defined by regulatory bodies such as the USDA.
Challenges with Ingredients
Miessence, like many brands covering cosmetics lines such as Bare Minerals, grapples with the complexity of ingredient certification. Mineral makeup uses ingredients like zinc oxide, iron oxide, and mica. These are considered safe in cosmetic use but cannot be certified organic since they derive from purified man-made minerals. They do, however, offer benefits like sun protection and enhanced skin appearance without being harmful when used properly.
Concerns have arisen about the potential risks of nanoparticles in mineral cosmetics. However, Miessence assures customers that the average particle size of their minerals is much larger than what would be classified as nanoparticles.
The Issue with Surfactants
One ingredient preventing full certification is coco-polyglucose, a surfactant synthesized from coconut and glucose. Despite its chemical nature, it fills a crucial role: creating foam. In our society, foamy personal care products are perceived as more effective. Miessence founder Narelle Chenery sought the safest option available to meet consumer expectations while continuing to work on finding a certified organic alternative.
Miessence highlights the benefits of coco-polyglucose, noting its excellent skin compatibility, biodegradability, eco-friendliness, and manufacturing from renewable resources. However, it remains uncertified while they seek better options.
Other Non-Organic Ingredients
Miessence also uses non-organic clays in masks and sea salt in toothpastes?"both natural and clean of contaminants but not certifiable as organic. These ingredients serve functional purposes in enhancing product performance.
Conclusion
Miessence is committed to providing clean, environmentally friendly products. While not all ingredients can currently be certified organic, they are dedicated to seeking alternatives and ensuring their products remain safe and effective. The journey towards fully organic personal care continues, driven by brands like Miessence who prioritize health and the environment.
