WOW! This is such an eye-opener
Thank U Ms.Belinda💗

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

Hi belinda .thanks for informative video. what can i add instead of vitamins to get their presence in my formulations..as vitamins directly are not allowed. Thanks

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

Hi Jabby, look for natural and organic extracts that are naturally high in certain vitamins to have their presence in your organic formulas, hope this helps, happy formulating!

[@mehboobbadami]

Thanks for sharing wonderful video..Are ecocert and cosmos same ? THANKS

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

Hi Mehboob, they are technically different but moving under the one 'umbrella' of rules over time. I prefer to use COSMOS as it will be the overarching principles in time. I hope this helps you can contact Ecocert or Cosmos for further clarification directly if you need to. Happy formulating!

Thanks for this video Belinda.
It is shocking that the certifying bodies won't allow nature-identical stable vitamin C, but allow highly processed rock minerals to be considered natural/organic.
Is BP petroleum jelly also allowed in organic formulations? Because it goes through similar processing as zinc oxide and it too is "naturally derived" from dead algal vegetation from millions of years ago.

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

No, its not permitted either. The certifiers set these rules so you'd need to address it with them. Sorry I can't help more on this, I just follow the rules, I don't make them.

Hi Belinda, if you don't mind, please make tutorial about making rubber mask
I'm so curious

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

I'll add that to my list, have you watched our peelable mask? Please watch here: ruclips.net/video/05ExboIF8FY/видео.html

[@nounamassa5586]

Thanks for the video It's informative but how can a start up business afford the fees of the certification organisms which are expensive and if the ingredients are chosen according to the cosmos standards for example, is it sufficient to mention ''conform to the cosmos standards '' on the label ?
Thanks

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

Hi Nouna, it is like any business - start up needs to be considered as part of your overall business plan. You might find this workshop useful: personalcarescience.com.au/BrandManagement/CosmeticBusinessPlan-482/

[@skincarebusinessfoundations]

Many skincare brands assume that so long as they have at least 95% organic ingredients in their product they can claim the product ‘organic’, without being certified, because the certification standard mentions 95%. Is that correct?
Or if a product is not certified does it need to be 100% organic to make an organic claim, unless specifying % of organic ingredients?
Thanks!

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

No that is not correct. Learn how to formulate organic products with our Certificate in Advanced Organic Formulations: personalcarescience.com.au/CosmeticScience/CertificateinAdvancedOrganicFormulation-896/

[@israelitequeen86]

So sodium cocoyl isethionate not completely natural?

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

No, its not - there is some synthetic additives added during processing.

[@israelitequeen86]
