Organic Claim Requirements for Lip Product Formulation

Hello! Regarding making an organic lip product, it is generally not necessary to use 100% organic ingredients to claim it as Organic.

The ability to claim a product as Organic depends on the specific Organic certification standard you wish to apply for. Most international standards (such as ECOCERT, COSMOS, USDA Organic) have different levels of certification based on the percentage of organic content in the product, for example:

• 100% Organic: Requires 100% organic ingredients (excluding water and salt).
• Organic: Typically requires at least 95% organic ingredients of the total ingredients (excluding water and salt).
• Made with Organic Ingredients: May allow for a lower percentage of organic ingredients (e.g., 70% or more) but still requires compliance with other criteria.

Therefore, whether you can claim your lip product as Organic and what terminology you can use (e.g., Organic or Made with Organic Ingredients) will depend on the proportion of organic ingredients you use and compliance with other requirements of the Organic certification standard you choose.

It is recommended to check the detailed requirements of the specific Organic standard you are interested in to ensure your formulation meets the criteria.
