Miessence Organic Certification Information
|
Miessence are currently the only skin care products
on the planet that have submitted to, and comply with, the rigourous
processing and labelling requirements for certified organic food
products. There are two levels of certification for organic
food products that Miessence skin care products comply
with:
1. Products branded “Miessence® Certified
Organics” are certified organic:
These products contain (excluding water and salt) at least 95% organically produced
agricultural ingredients. The remaining ingredients (up to 5%) can be non-agricultural
substances or non-organically produced agricultural ingredients, with strict
processing criteria (e.g., absolutely no GMOs or synthetic chemicals).
These products bear the Australian Certified Organic
(ACO) logo.
The ACO, Australia’s largest Organic Certifying Body,
is accredited to certify organic operations in Australia,
Europe, Japan, USA, Switzerland and
the UK. Miessence certified organic products are also certified
by the USDA.

2. Products branded “Miessence® Organics" are
either ‘made with organic ingredients’ or are ‘mineral-based’ products: a) Made with organic ingredients products contain
(excluding water and salt) at least 70% organically produced
agricultural ingredients. Any remaining can be non-agricultural
substances (e.g., clay, bicarb soda, minerals) or non-organically
produced agricultural ingredients, with strict processing
criteria (e.g., absolutely no GMOs or synthetic chemicals).
b)
Mineral-based products contain non-agricultural substances
(e.g., clay, bicarb soda, minerals), with strict
processing criteria (e.g., absolutely no GMOs or synthetic
chemicals).
These products bear the Biological
Farmers of Australia (BFA) Registered Product
logo. |

| 3. Products that bear
no third party certification logo, i.e. the two Shampoos, the Sunflower Body
Wash and the Herbal Shine Hair Conditioner contain one single
ingredient that is not allowed in organic foods, and therefore
prevents the products from being certified. The foaming
products contain “coco polyglucose” and the hair
conditioner contains “sorbitan olivate”. Please
see the Miessence® Ingredient
Glossary for more information on these ingredients. |
Certified organic is your guarantee of ONE Group's purity of
product and integrity of company.
ONE Group are proud that their product range bears the
seal of approval by Australia's leading organic certifier,
the Biological
Farmers of Australia. The BFA sets and maintains stringent
quality standards that either comply with or exceed international
requirements.
The benefits of certified organic products and
processes:
• Independent third-party guarantee
of quality, and purity of ingredients.
• Safe, clean and potent plant extracts of high vitality.
• Sustainable agriculture that respects, supports and nurtures the
complete ecology and energy of our planet.
• Authenticity and integrity of organic and natural claims.
• Prevention of damage to the environment and humans by the poisonous
chemicals used in conventional agriculture.
While 'natural'
and 'organic' claims abound, the only way you can be sure is by using a fully
certified organic range of
products.
Many may claim to use organic ingredients, but none have
achieved third party independent certification.
