![]() About Organic CosmeticsIn Organic skin care products, as far as we're concerned, there really should be no middle ground. When it comes to your skin, we think you’ll agree there shouldn’t be either.
As of May 2008, the term organic for use in cosmetics is not regulated by government standards. Organic cosmetic products that are certified by independent agencies are permitted to have up to 5% non-organic ingredients in them. Industry abuse of the term organic is rampant and misleading.
Though far more difficult, we chose for Jiadé, an avenue of no compromise. We don’t invoke the 5% rule, we do not employ synthesized chemicals, nor ‘naturally derived’ ingredients. After almost a year of research in formulation and preparation, we have found a way to make completely organic cosmetics. With this we hope to restore some of the trust in the term organic skin care.
We take what is given to us by nature, from the lavender fields in France, Rose blossoms in Bulgaria, Tamanu nut from the Tahiti, Safflowers from Mexico, Orange blossoms from North Africa and Grape seeds from South America, and blend them together by hand. Links:
