AB As  pressure  grows  on  cosmetics  companies  to  use  more  environmentally-friendly  ingredients  and  packaging,  we  are  seeing  a  profound  increase  in  organic/natural  claims  on  “green”  beauty  products.  Terms  such  as  “active  naturals,”  “botanical,”  “natural,”  “green,”  and  “organic”  are  bandied  about  regularly;  however,  these  terms  are  meaningless  without  standard  consensus  definitions.  Of  these  categories,  only  the  term  “organic”  has  a  set  of  requirements  associated  with  its  labeling.  Unfortunately,  standards  and  definitions  in  the  United  States  (US)  and  other  countries  vary.
