Standards and labels

Standards have not been specified

• Vegan

  Vegan refers to a lifestyle and diet that excludes all forms of animal exploitation, including the use of animal products, such as meat, dairy, eggs and honey. Vegan products are free from any animal-derived ingredients. In Europe, there are no specific requirements for labeling a product as vegan, but some countries have their own regulations for food labeling. The EU has an overview of the food labeling regulations that are in place, but these regulations do not specifically mention "vegan" as a label. However, a product can't be labeled as vegan if it contains any animal-derived ingredients. The Vegan Society and the European Vegetarian Union provide vegan certification for products that meet their criteria.

• Dermatologically Tested

  Dermatologically Tested refers to products that have been tested and proven to be safe for use on the skin. The European Union has regulations for cosmetics products, which includes dermatological testing, to ensure that products are safe for use. To be labeled as dermatologically tested, the product must be tested by a qualified professional, such as a dermatologist, and must not cause any irritation or allergic reactions. The testing must be carried out on a representative sample of human volunteers and the results must be evaluated by a qualified professional before the product can be considered as dermatologically tested and can bear the label. The EU Cosmetics Regulation, lays out the specific requirements for safety assessments and labeling of cosmetics products.
