Aurangabad, M.S., 25rd January 2010 – “Organic cosmetics come as solace for eco-conscious consumers especially when the whole world is in search of the best possible options for everything that is not eco-friendly.”
In 2010, 10% of the total European and 20% of the total Asian cosmetic market is expected to be only of certified organic products.
“India has an opportunity to play a major role in organic cosmetic sector. The health conscious and environment friendly global consumer is now becoming more and more demanding and choosy about the cosmetics they use. ‘You should apply to your skin what you can eat’ is the mantra of eco-friendly lifestyles. ECOCERT is committed to provide to the world those all solutions required to lead such lifestyles including cosmetics,” continued Dr. Daniel.
Product manager and senior inspector of ECOCERT India for organic cosmetics, Dr. Pravin Khare commented, “recently certified organic cosmetics products by ECOCERT include categories like hair care, make up, skin care, perfume, bath soaps, etc which require a huge supply of raw materials both from cultivated as well as forest lands. More response to organic cosmetics thus also directly translates in to greater business opportunities for the cosmetic ingredient suppliers/growers across the Indian subcontinent.”
“Since past one and a half year through cosmetics conventions in major Indian cities, ECOECERT is creating awareness about ECOCERT cosmetic standards and the associated business opportunities in international as well as the domestic markets”, says Dr. Daniel, “We have so far certified a varied range of cosmetic products of the companies like Azafran and Himalaya Drug Company.”
“Today a good number of reputed groups are showing interest in launching ECOCERT certified organic cosmetic products thanks to our successful conventions and the actual demand in the world market.”
