Skincare products are considered organic if they're composed of mostly natural ingredients that have been grown without the use of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers. They're at least 95% natural.
Mustela goes above and beyond this standard. Our range of organic skincare products has between 99.5% and 99.7% ingredients of natural origin per ISO 16128 standard. Some other common factors that make a skincare product organic include:
- No artificial fragrances or colors: These products should be free from synthetic scents or dyes.
- No harsh chemicals: Parabens, phthalates, and other harsh chemicals aren't found in organic skincare products.
- Cruelty-free: Organic companies don't usually test on animals. Mustela is cruelty-free.
- Non-GMO: According to the National Sanitation Foundation, genetically modified organisms (GMOs) aren't allowed in organic products.
