ICADA Natural + Organic

For many consumers, the plant-based origin of cosmetic raw materials is no longer enough, especially as natural raw materials also have a toxicological profile. Cosmetic products should now be "safe" and "harmless" and no longer necessarily count as natural cosmetics for this purpose. Many companies want to meet this customer demand. ICADA has therefore launched the clean label. ICADA clean stands for the conscious avoidance of substances from the ICADA blacklist.

Only when at least 95 percent of the (certifiable) raw materials come from controlled organic production is it customary to speak of organic cosmetics.

The "natural+organic" seal from ICADA certifies that products that comply with the ICADA standard meet the high demands placed on organic cosmetics. Compliance with the standard is checked by annual audits, among other things.

Conditions for licence use

The licence fee is € 50.00 net per year and product up to a maximum amount of € 1,000.00 net (no further licence fees are charged for more than 20 products). The label can only be acquired by ICADA members or label partners.

Procedure

To acquire the label, you must have a certificate from a certification body appointed by ICADA confirming the conformity of your product to be licensed with the ICADA standard. To do this, you can contact an ICADA-recognised certification body directly.

As soon as you have the confirmation of conformity, send it to ICADA together with the signed licence agreement. They will check whether you are an ICADA member or label partner and whether you fulfil the requirements for using the label. If these are met, you will be sent written authorisation to use the ICADA mark and the certificate for the compliant products.
