Cosmetic Code: Natural Ingredients & Product Labels

Proper product labeling is paramount to both the product manufacturer and the consumer. Survey findings show that 61% of women were committed to reading product labels prior to their purchase of skin care products. Furthermore, 68% to 78% of women ages 18 to 54 want skin care made from natural ingredients, stimulating the need to read product labels.1 To meet this demand ethically, product manufacturers need to create product labels that comply to industry standards, as delineated by the FDA Cosmetics Labeling Guide.
