Why GERMAN
personal care products
Manufacturing personal care
products and cosmetics using natural , herbal
ingredient has very deep root in Germany. German
companies led the world in terms of both quantity and
quality for these products.
Strong competition increases
quality and stimulates innovation
Many strong natural brands of
personal care products thrive in Germany, and new
companies emerge with new brands every year. To
succeed, a supplier must first meet the high quality
standards of the competition. To remain successful, a
German supplier must continually innovate and keep
pace with market development.
The German natural product
industry enforces its own high standards
German manufacturers of natural
personal care products have recognized common
interests and values bind them strongly. They have
adopted a common definition for the term "
natural" , as it applies to personal care
products. They have accepted a tough and costly
enforcement mechanism, overseen by the trade
association BDIH. The BDIH "Certified
Natural" seal of approval is awarded
only to products evaluated by independent laboratories
for compliance to the established natural guidelines.
This successful program has greatly increased consumer
confidence in the term "Natural".
See "what is meant by
BDIH " for its criteria.
Government controls protect
consumer
German government agencies enforce
their rules rigorously. Government agents visit
manufacturers regularly to inspect manufacturing
process, and to take sample for testing. The testing
includes checking the accuracy of ingredient
declarations printed on packaging. As a result,
fraudulent ingredient listings have been practically
eliminated.
Active media role increases
consumer confidence
The German consumer enjoys a high
level of accessible ,quality information to assist in
evaluating products. The monthly magazine, "OKO-TEST",
publishes critical reviews of consumer products from
natural and environmental standpoints. It analyzes
leading brands from both the natural and conventional
marketplaces in terms of ingredients, packaging,
performance and price. The magazine has been a leading
factor in increasing German consumer awareness,
manufacturer responsibility , and product quality.
