What is your take on brands that claim they are "Plant Based". I've seen this term used on alot of products in the U.S especially. They say plant based, but I still see some synthetic based ingredients . Love the channel btw. 💖 It's helping me to make more informed decisions as a consumer.
The claim ‘plant based’ may or may not be okay depending on how they are using it and the overall context of its use. For example, do they have some plant based ingredients present, even if synthetic, this can be okay. Claiming a product is ‘only’ or ‘totally’ plant based is not suitable if there is some synthetic components, but otherwise ‘using’ plant based ingredients or ‘contains’ plant based ingredients would be suitable even if there are synthetic components present. Some of the best products use the best of both!

World's first is pretty easy... we've been saying we're the world's first certified organic skin care range since 2001. We have the organic certificate to prove it, and no one else has come up with an earlier dated organic certificate. :-)
Thanks Narelle, that is a perfect example of where you can make that claim - holding the evidence is so important and enables you to make the claim and prove it if ever challenged - well done on being the world's first and thank you for making that as an example! :)
I ❤ all your content. So thoroughly structured. Your diploma course is so tempting also for Europeans, despite the fact that it takes a different learning path to become a formulator.
If I use only natural ingredients such as Shea butter in my product, can I still label my product with the statement “all natural” without going through the certification process?
If in fact all your materials are all natural/naturally derived - but be careful, you may be using some partially synthetic materials and not realise it, for example, many preservatives are synthetic (even if nature identical, they are still synthetic) and most vitamins are also synthetic (again, nature identical, but synthetically produced). You can only say your product is all natural if in fact it is all natural and no synthetic components.
