Did you know that many products marketed as natural and natural today are actually produced from ingredients exposed to herbicides and chemical pesticides?
In industrial and even traditional agriculture, spraying techniques, which are very harmful to human health, are widely used to increase productivity. Agricultural inputs obtained in this way are components used in the manufacture of cosmetic products. The porous structure of our outer bodies, which is the largest organ of the human body, absorbs these chemicals and mixes them into our circulatory system. These chemicals, which are absorbed by our body, cause diseases such as cancer, impotence, infertility and adversely affect our immune system.
Did you know that the skin of an ordinary person absorbs 2 kg of chemicals per year?
Products labeled as natural and organic cannot provide any guarantee that they are free of chemicals unless approved by an independent organization.
For this reason, Turtlee Organics is certified by the international certification organization COSMOS and guarantees that it does not contain chemicals that threaten your health.
Cosmos Organic Certification mandates that only inputs from organic farming are used and guarantees that it is produced according to the highest possible sustainability practices. The organic certification process includes periodic testing of soil and water, while thoroughly recording inspections of farm sites and processing facilities to ensure that raw material growers and processors meet the established Organic certification standard.
The presence of the organic certification logo on the packaging of the product informs the consumer about the authenticity of that product. Unfortunately, due to the lack of control and sanctions in our country, brands that describe themselves as natural or organic without certificates mislead the consumer.
Organic cosmetics and natural cosmetics are not the same thing.
In the natural cosmetic product, for example, paraben, silicone, petroleum derivatives, etc. products should not be. However, there must be a small amount of plant in its effective components.
In organic cosmetics, it is not enough to use a small amount of herbal inputs. It is obligatory to use herbal inputs over a percentage determined by the legislation. All the ingredients you use in an organic cosmetic product must be organically grown.
Natural cosmetics contain only plants, but organic cosmetics are cosmetics that are certified as being free of chemicals and harmful components, along with the plants it contains.
In fact, there is a huge difference between them!
It is as follows; For example, an oil may contain a toxic component such as alpha toxic . However, you can call it a natural product. But organic should not contain this substance and you have to prove it. Another factor is that the vegetable oil rate used in a natural cream may be 1%. But in an organic cream, it must be at least 20%.
Natural products do not have to consist entirely of plants. However, an organic product must consist entirely of plants or a plant-derived ingredient. There are certain percentages and those percentages must be documented with international certification, and it must also be stated on the label on the packaging.
