The Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) passed the Regulation on Organic cosmetics standard. In Korea, cosmetics can now be labelled or/and advertised as natural or organic, when they meet the standard. MFDS has introduced a new certification system of Natural and Organic cosmetics (hearinafter KOC) and CU Korea is designated as certification body.
Synthetic ingredients are not allowed except some cases listed in the standard. Organic cosmetics shall be composed of raw materials of which at least 10% are organic raw materials.
