Stephenson launches a range of four formulations that allows brands and manufacturers in the personal care market to easily administer the change from Soil Association to COSMOS-certified.
Bodywash Contains Natural Liquid Soap
The Soil Association no longer provides certification to new customers although certifications already made to products remain valid. The COSMOS standard oversees organic and natural certification within the personal care sector in Europe and COSMOS Organic is a certification for organic beauty products that use between 20 & 95%+ of organic materials.
Stephenson’s COSMOS-certified Bodywash Base contains a natural liquid soap base made from organic oils. All the base requires is the simple addition of essential oils or fragrance and it can readily be thickened with salt. Containing organic glycerin naturally derived from organic sunflower and coconut oils, this liquid base is blended with gentle surfactants to provide a creamy lather. This base also allows the production of a certified bodywash, if the converter or filler also has organic certification.
Formulations for Shampoo and Conditioners
The COSMOS-certified Shampoo Base is fully formulated, contains mild
surfactants and is pre-thickened, simply requiring the addition of fragrance and or essential oils. The product is blended with approved gentle surfactants to provide masses of creamy lather, is free from sulfates, SLS, SLES and parabens and is enriched with aloe vera.
The COSMOS-certified Conditioner Base is blended with nourishing organic certified shea butter, jojoba, sunflower, olive and coconut oils. This base is fully formulated, pre-thickened and only requires the addition of organic essential oils or fragrance. It is suitable for all hair types and enriched with nourishing emollients.
Stephenson’s COSMOS-certified Lotion Base is fully formulated and pre-thickened, only requiring organic fragrance or essential oils to create a product made with organic ingredients.
