Text SizePrint E-mail Reprints By Associated Press,

SAN FRANCISCO — An environmental group filed a lawsuit Thursday against 26 cosmetic companies, claiming they are improperly labeling products such as shampoo, facial washes and soaps as organic.

The Center for Environmental Health said in its lawsuit filed in Alameda County Superior Court that the companies are violating a California labeling law requiring organic products to contain at least 70 percent organic ingredients.

Comments

Weigh In Corrections?

Organic labels connote the natural ingredients used to make the product were grown without pesticides, chemicals and other traditional methods now thought to be unhealthy.

There has been growing confusion and debate over what constitutes organic and a growing number of false labeling lawsuits.

The center previously sued organic heavyweight Hain Celestial Group Inc. in May, claiming its Jason and Avalon Organics brands were mislabeled. Other Hain brands were included in the lawsuit filed Thursday. A company representative didn’t return a call seeking comment.

Legal disputes over organic labeling initially targeted food growers in 2007. The next year, cosmetic products claiming to have organic ingredients were targeted. None of those lawsuits have been resolved.

In the latest action, the Oakland-based center alleges in its lawsuit that popular organic cosmetic companies such as Kiss My Face, Alliance Boots and others violated the California Organic Products Act of 2003, which mandated the 70 percent rule. Neither company returned a phone call.

Executive Director Michael Green said the center purchased dozens of the products earlier this year. He said a simple reading of the ingredients list on the back of many products revealed they fell short of meeting the 70 percent threshold.

“For years, organic advocates have called on personal care companies to fix their improper ‘organic’ labels, but our recent purchasing shows the industry is still rife with unsubstantiated organic claims,” Green said.

The center wants to encourage companies to use organic ingredients, and ensure that consumers can trust organic labels to be meaningful and consistent, he said.

The federal government doesn’t have organic labeling rules for cosmetic products. But the U.S. Department of Agriculture approved California standards.

SIRIM HELPING SABAH BUMIPUTRAS DEVELOP COSMETIC PRODUCTS

SANDAKAN, June 21 (Bernama) -- The Standards and Industrial Research

Institute of Malaysia Berhad is helping five Bumiputera entrepreneurs in Sabah

to develop cosmetic products from natural resources.

SIRIM Berhad Sabah general manager Khairon Untoh said today that the

products were made from natural resources easily available in the state such as

honey, hill rice, seaweed, cinnamon and ginger.

The rice-based cosmetic products were already in market while the others

were in the packaging stage, he told reporters after launching an introductory

biocosmetic and natural products programme.

Khairon said that SIRIM had a programme to help Bumiputeras venture into the

cosmetic products industry.

SCHEDULED POISONS DETECTED IN SIX COSMETIC PRODUCTS

KUALA LUMPUR, April 20 (Bernama) -- The health ministry has cautioned the

public against the use of six popular cosmetic products found to contain

scheduled poisons.

The products are BML HB Lotion, Shana Night Cream, Natasya Gold Herbal

Cream, Biotox Whitening Hydro Cream, Yoko Whitening Cream and Sue Beauty Night

Treatment Cream.

They contain scheduled poisons such as dexamethasone, hydroquinone and

tretinoin which caused various side-effects to consumers, said the ministry''s

pharmaceutical services division senior director, Datuk Eishah A. Rahman.

The use of dexamethasone, hydroquinone and tretinoin in cosmetic products

were prohibited and could only be used with the advice of health professionals,

she said in a statement here today.

According to Dr Eishah, tretinoin caused skin redness, discomfort, peeling

and hypersensitivity under sunlight while hydroquinone caused redness,

discomfort, unwanted skin colour change, skin hypersensitivity and

depigmentation.

Dexamethasone was a steroid which when used topically, could cause skin

irritation, dryness, pimples, thinning of skin and increased risk of bacterial

infection, she said.

She urged those in possession of the products to halt its sale, distribution

or usage.

Swanson Health Products Introduces New Line of Natural Health & Beauty Products

Fargo ND (PRWEB) April 25, 2011

Swanson Health Products is launching Swanson Cosmetic Science, its own brand of natural health and beauty products. Product Developers at Swanson Health Products created new formulas and reformulated best-selling Swanson personal care products to represent an array of beauty support as part of this product line. Included in Swanson Cosmetic Science are formulas for hair care, skin care, cleansers, toners, moisturizing oils and nourishing supplements.

Swanson Cosmetic Science products are as close to 100% natural as possible. They are guaranteed to be at least 90% natural and free of the unwanted ingredients commonly found in drugstore brand products, like parabens and sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS). The Swanson Cosmetic Science brand is also free of preservatives, perfumes and unnecessary additives. When the use of small amounts of synthetic materials can’t be avoided, Swanson guarantees only the highest quality, safest ingredients are selected.

Cleansing and moisturizing formulas feature natural ingredients like biotin, tea tree oil, hyaluronic acid, emu oil, DMAE and CoQ10. Swanson Cosmetic Science products come in specially designed packages. Instead of wide-mouth jars that can harbor bacteria, creams and lotions are in sealed pump dispensers to protect freshness and purity. Supplements in the Swanson Cosmetic Line nourish from the inside out. Swanson has included beautifying nutrients like silica and gelatin, along with our innovative anti-aging supplement, InjuvR.

In the months to come, more items will be added to the Swanson Cosmetic Science line of products, including emerging ingredients like ceramides. Jessica Pitzel, Product Development Specialist at Swanson Health Products, says, “We have our products custom blended just for us so we are always keeping an eye out for the newest, highest quality, cutting edge ingredients.”

Swanson Health Products is an industry leader in bringing vitamins direct to consumers at the lowest prices possible. Swanson Health Products, located in Fargo, ND, offers the highest quality vitamins, supplements and natural health care products and is Good Manufacturing Practices certified. Swanson Health Products goes a step beyond its competitors by offering powerful guarantees. All products are backed by a 100% Satisfaction, Money-Back Guarantee and Double the Difference Lowest Price Guarantee. For more information, please visit swansonvitamins.com.
