Editorial Analysis
Tracks and verifies the presence of organically grown material in a final product. Unlike GOTS, OCS covers only raw material integrity (organic origin), not processing or chemical criteria. OCS 100 means 95-100% certified organic content; OCS Blended covers 5-95%. Does not address vegan status or animal welfare.
