In the United States, the FDA distinguishes its authority over cosmetics from that of the USDA organic program and notes that an ingredient’s origin alone does not determine its safety. This entry helps distinguish origin, certification, and product properties. It does not automatically apply that framework to other markets or attribute certifications to brands; each claim requires identifying the relevant standard and documentation.
Olfactory descriptions are not equivalent to an ingredient list. The properties of an ingredient do not automatically transfer to the finished product.
