Labelling standards in Australia are not stringently regulated and can be misleading to the consumer. The word organic is open to interpretation and in most cases is not reflective of the product contents.
If products are exported there is some assurance as to the authenticity of claims due to AQIS (Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service) which serves to regulate and protect the reputation of Australian products in overseas markets.
In order to export products and claim organic status you must be a certified as an organic processor/grower by an AQIS approved certifying body. Manufacturing facilities and formulations undergo very strict regulatory standards and audits to authenticate that products and inputs are certified organic. As there is not currently a national standard for skin care and cosmetics classification comes under the “National Food Standard for Organic and Bio-dynamic Produce”.
