How do I qualify?

Certification Process:

2. Upon receipt of the above info, the ingredients will be checked and any queries will be forwarded to the company requesting certification. 

3. Products will be reviewed which may involve laboratory testing and contact with the suppliers and manufacturers. This process may take several weeks depending on the number of products submitted for review and the amount of questionable ingredients or processes. 

4. After thorough review of the products, www.vegancosmetics.org  will grant usage of the Logo for specified products reviewed and approved.
