INTRODUCTION ICEA, the Institute for Ethical and Environmental Certification (ICEA), together with a group of manufacturers, aimed at producing organic and environmental friendly beauty products, draw up the following Standards, in order to allow the producers interested in this kind of activity to get more information regarding the organic certification and the way to obtain the products label according to the words: “Eco Bio Cosmetics ICEA”, and the proper logo as reported in Regulation. Certification and Control procedures will be carried out by an external independent certification body which by means of its technicians , will check the compliance with the standards. These Standards should be regarded as a mere guideline which is suitable to changes and modifications. In particular, Annex 1 was elaborated according to the European Inventory of cosmetics raw material enclosed in the Decision of the European Commission of February, 9th 2006 (2006/257/EC). Changes to this official inventory lead to subsequent modifications to this Standard. Raw materials not included in the official European inventory will be evaluated by the Technical Commission of the certification body. 2. GOALS ICEA and the above mentioned partners are going to achieve and implement these main goals: - In body care/treatments: the use of environmental friendly beauty products which take care of the consumers’ health. Moreover they should be able to satisfy every particular need through a precise and clear definition of organic, environmental friendly beauty products. - The Definition of the basic requirements for the products "Eco-BioCosmetics”, which are listed in order to give the mark reported in Chapter 2, paragraph V. - Promote: • The use of raw materials of organic farming origin or deriving from spontaneous gathering . • The use of beauty products which do not pollute the environment ( dangerous substances contained both in product and packaging). • The use of beauty products which do not contain raw materials of non plant origin and could be dangerous i.e. allergic or irritant substances or anyway harmful for the human health. • The reduction of the environmental pollution caused by unnecessary packaging (mono packaging) which are not recyclable ( it is advisable to use recycling packaging, recycling material or linked to a returnable/recycling waste) • The production is made following the latest environmental friendly methods • Cut down of the environmental pollution starting from production • The use of really natural beauty products, giving the consumers the possibility to recognise immediately the really natural ones. • The creation of a data bank which is used to find the organic raw materials or spontaneous ones at national level. 3. CONCEPTS The selection of the raw materials included in the list of ingredients not allowed in order to obtain the Environment-friendly Cosmetics Certification was done taking in account their: - compatibilità with the skin - toxicity or undesirable effects - environment impact - synthetic origin Pagina 2 di 204 ICEA DTR.06 ORGANIC ENVIRONMENTAL FRIENDLY Ed. 01 Rev.00 del 30.04.09 COSMETICS STANDARDS In the list of ingredients not allowed are included the following type of materials: • PEG, PPG derivatives (cleansings, emollients, solvents, etc.); • ethoxylated substances (cleansings, emulsifyings, etc.); • detergents that are aggressive with the skin; • substances that can laed to environment damage; • compounds that can generate nitrosammines (cancerogenc substances); • animal derivatives as collagen, tallow, placenta, ecc.; • silicone derivatives; • acrylic polimers (emulsifyers, viscosity controllers, antistatics, etc.); • preservatives as formaldehyde, alogenated compounds, thiazolinones, borates; • synthetic dyes; • synthetics derivatives of Aluminium and Silicon; 4. APPLICATION FIELD The products subject to the Standards are those pertaining to the application sphere of the Law 713/86 as amended. In the field of application, there are also coadiuvants, ingredients, raw materiale, processing aids, just natural substances that could be used in the cosmetic sector, or that take part of the formula of cosmetic products. 5. STANDARDS REFERENCES - Law 713/86 as amended - Decision of the European Commission on February 2006, 9th (2006/257/EC) I.N.C.I. 6. RAW MATERIALS For each product a form containing a full declaration of the ingredients reported the INCI regulation should be filled in. The authorisation procedure is carried out when the declaration is being made. In doubtful cases regarding the raw material used in the primary process, the certification body could require further explanations which ensure the harmless and environmental friendly quality of the product. In order to promote a further customers’ safety the producer has the task to communicate in a suitable document the presence of additives in the raw material before its use as for ex: preservatives when they are not reported in the technical form. This will be helpful for the control body in order to check and control the presence of non-stated substances on the basis of the given data of the document. As regards essential plant oils used as perfumes in cosmetic industry, they can be reported as perfume (according to the law ) , without explaining the nature and percentage except for the producer declaration that these are non- synthetic essential oils. The parfums, essences, fragrances must have a declaration of the supplier that attests the conformity of the parfum to the Annex 1 of this Standard.
