Why V-CARD Criteria?


Companies and individuals who manufacture or market cosmetics have a legal responsibility to ensure the safety of their products. Neither the law nor FDA regulations require specific tests to demonstrate the safety of individual products or ingredients. The law also does not require cosmetic companies to share their safety information with FDA.

Industry does not have to test chemicals for safety before they go on the market. Nattoral steps in where government leaves off, Select for you the best and safe for you and your family.


30 Vs. 1300 Ingredients!!

The significant outliers between USFDA (only 30 prohibited ingredients) and EUFDA (over 1300 prohibited ingredients), compelled us to look beyond conventional trade rules. Thus, we integrate international databases to meet the highest standards. Otherwise, consumers end up using products that were laden with unsafe ingredients and included harmful components.
