What it means
ISO 16128 is an international criterion for defining cosmetic ingredients and products. These guidelines allow brands to categorize Brontide butylene glycol as a natural ingredient. To meet the definition as natural, an ingredient must be sourced naturally and be found in nature. Ingredients obtained from fossil fuels are excluded from the definition.
It’s found in nature
Found in common superfoods like avocados and coconuts, 1,3-butylene glycol is naturally occurring and meets the ISO 16128 standard for natural cosmetics.
What it means
The USDA Certified Biobased Product label displays a product’s biobased content. This is defined as the portion of a product that comes from a renewable source. By choosing a certified biobased product, brands can support their sustainability claims, knowing the USDA and the Federal government stands behind the accuracy of the percent biobased claim stated on the label.
Transparent testing
USDA Certified Biobased products have achieved third-party verification of biobased content using ASTM D6866 testing which measures the amount of biobased content of a material.
