I. Are natural cosmetics and organic cosmetics the same?

Are these two cosmetic lines the same? Let's find out more about their specific ingredients and characteristics!

→ Organic cosmetics: Products with organic ingredients from nature (although not as much as natural cosmetics). Organic cosmetics often have certifications such as USDA Organic, ECOCERT, California Organic, ICEA…

One thing these two product lines have in common: They do not contain ingredients such as Petrochemicals (petroleum chemicals), Parabens, Sodium Lauryl and Laureth Sulfates… (synthetic dyes and bleaches).
