Certificate of Good Workmanship Raw Materials

The raw materials used for a cosmetic product must be properly documented, properly stored, and tracked throughout the production process. When a product is labeled "organic", market requirements for that name must be met, with the correct percentage of provably biological material.

The standards for purchasing, storing, testing, and documenting raw materials are as follows:

• Document the receipt of raw materials and carry out tests promptly to ensure that they meet all standards.
• Store and handle ingredients in a way that prevents them from mixing, contaminating, or decomposing.
• All containers are properly marked to ensure their identity, batch identification, and control status.
• All containers are sealed, properly sealed and properly stored.
• All raw materials of animal or vegetable origin, as well as cosmetics manufactured using the cold pressing process, are tested for contamination with dirt or microorganisms.
• All raw materials that do not meet the specifications are duly identified to avoid their use in cosmetics.
