Question 2

What does “certified” mean?

Accepted Answer

EcoTan is Certified by The Organic Food Chain (OFC) under the Australian government’s organic and bio dynamic standards. Australian certifiers have the highest and strictest standards in the world – allowing no GMO or synthetics through when certifying a product. They are also Certified Toxic Free by Safe Cosmetics Australia.

Question 3

What does certified organic mean?

Accepted Answer

To be certified by the Organic Food Chain (OFC) means that each product must contain a minimum of 70% Certified Organic ingredients and the rest must be natural. Most of EcoTan products are above the 90% Certified Organic ingredient mark. Certified Organic covers everything you would expect in an ethically produced product, including being free range, cruelty free, socially responsible and grown without genetic modifications, hormones, antibiotics, synthetic pesticides and herbicides. It also means that EcoTan undergoes annual company audits to ensure they are complying with the strict requirements of the OFC.

Question 4

Certified Organic vs Natural

Accepted Answer

The main difference is that Certified Organic products require at least 70% of the ingredients to be Certified as Organic and the remaining ingredients must be natural. Anyone can claim to produce a natural product if even only one of their ingredients is natural. This can be misleading to the consumer and we always encourage people to do their own research before purchasing.

Question 10

What’s the difference between SFP 30 and SFP 50?

Accepted Answer

According to the Cancer Council, SPF50 sunscreen blocks out at least 98% of UVB radiation, while SPF30 blocks out 96.7% of UVB rays. The difference is pretty small, so the most important thing is that you regularly reapply and use enough product on your skin!
