Certificates
At Hemptouch, we are aware that words alone are not enough. We know that only good intentions, honesty, and confirmation from independent organizations matter when building trust and a relationship with you. That's why we stand behind certifications and expert findings that instill additional confidence, transparency, and confirm the quality and safety of our products.
Natrue
Natrue, or the Natural and Organic Cosmetics Association, is an international certification for natural cosmetics. It is a non-profit organization whose main goal is to standardize the requirements for natural and organic cosmetics.
The association was established with the aim of restoring and strengthening consumer trust, which was increasingly affected by deceptive advertising practices by manufacturers.
Natrue criteria include:
- A defined minimum percentage of natural ingredients and a maximum percentage of ingredients of natural origin.
- Only "gentle" processing methods of natural raw materials are allowed.
- Each input raw material is verified, including its origin and every step of the processing procedure.
- Only natural, naturally derived, and nature-identical ingredients are permitted.
- Ingredients of synthetic origin are not allowed.
- Genetically modified organisms (GMO) ingredients are not allowed.
- The percentage of natural ingredients does not include water (to prevent artificially inflating the natural ingredient content).
Vegan
The Vegan Trademark is an authentic international vegan standard managed by The Vegan Society, a charitable organization that coined the word "vegan" in 1944. Their dedicated and experienced team verifies individual products against strict criteria, collaborating with manufacturers and suppliers in various areas to ensure compliance with the highest standards.
The Vegan certificate license is renewed annually to ensure the latest information on specific products falling under the certification.
The certificate guarantees that cosmetic products do not contain ingredients of animal origin, their by-products, or derivatives. The certification ensures that no living being has suffered in the production process.
AromaCert – Aromatherapy Quality Seal
Many cosmetic products claim to be natural, but users often find it difficult to verify the authenticity of such claims. If you use products with the Aromacert Care or Aromacert Essence labels, you can be assured that they adhere to natural standards as they have undergone thorough scrutiny.
To obtain the Aromacert certification, a product can only contain 100% natural ingredients. The use of petrochemical substances (such as paraffins and vaseline) is completely prohibited. The product must not contain artificial colors, preservatives, or fragrances, except for those derived from natural essential oils or plant extracts. The source of all essential oils in the product must be 100% natural, their composition must be known, and their geographical origin must be disclosed to enable traceability.
The certifier verifies whether the product has all the necessary documentation and whether the product sample meets all the requirements for obtaining the certification. What sets the Aromacert certification apart is that they not only review the documentation but also examine the final product from the bottle.
