Editorial Analysis
A German organic association certifying food, agriculture, textiles, and cosmetics. Naturland has its own 'Fair' standard addressing social and economic sustainability in addition to organic requirements. In cosmetics, Naturland has developed a comprehensive standard broadly comparable to COSMOS Organic. Does not certify vegan status — animal-derived ingredients are permitted if organically produced.
