How to certify your Beauty & Wellbeing products
Looking to certify as a Soil Association Beauty & Wellbeing licensee? You’re in the right place!
First off, we are so happy you are considering this step - certifying your beauty or wellbeing products as COSMOS Organic or Soil Association Health & Beauty Organic is one of the most effective steps you can take as a brand to protect the environment and deliver solutions to climate change.
What’s more, 42% of consumers say they look for third-party certification logos to prove how sustainable a brand is. Carrying the Soil Association logo will give your sustainability credentials greater recognition amongst consumers, especially as it is the UK’s most recognised organic symbol, appearing on over 70% of organic products.
Before we issue your licence, we are here to guide you through every step of the application process with the easy to watch video guides you find below.
