Nanotech Can’t Be Defined As Organic

January 16th, 2008

Lately, the word ‘nano technology’ seems to be appearing everywhere in the beauty and skin care products.

However, today, it is announced that UK Soil Association will not recognize nanotech as ‘organic’.

15/01/2008 - The UK-based Soil Association has ruled that it will not give its organic certification to any man-made nanomaterials included in health and beauty products.
The organisation stressed that its ban on the use of such materials particularly underlined beauty products, but also applied to food and textiles, stating that it was taking action ‘against this hazardous, potentially toxic technology that poses a serious new threat to human health’.

The ban means that the organisation will not allow any product containing man-made nano particles to bear its globally recognised certification and labelling, which is pro-organic.

Whatever you use on your face, make sure that it is safe for use!
