Description (English):

ISO 16128-2:2017 describes approaches to calculate natural, natural origin, organic and organic origin indexes that apply to the ingredient categories defined in ISO 16128‑1. This document also offers a framework to determine the natural, natural origin, organic and organic origin content of products based on the ingredient characterization. Neither ISO 16128‑1 nor this document addresses product communication (e.g. claims and labelling), human safety, environmental safety, socio-economic considerations (e.g. fair trade), characteristics of packaging materials or regulatory requirements applicable for cosmetics. ISO 16128-2:2017 builds on and enhances ISO 16128‑1. It is intended to be used in conjunction with ISO 16128‑1.

Abstract

Overview

ISO 16128-2:2017 - Cosmetics - Guidelines on technical definitions and criteria for natural and organic cosmetic ingredients (Part 2) - provides a technical framework to quantify natural, natural origin, organic and organic origin content of cosmetic ingredients and finished products. Designed to be used in conjunction with ISO 16128‑1:2016, this Part 2 standard defines calculation approaches, index definitions and practical rules (especially for extracts and various types of water) to determine ingredient and product content values. It does not cover product claims and labelling, human or environmental safety, socio‑economic topics (e.g. fair trade), packaging characteristics or regulatory requirements.

Key topics

Indexes and definitions: Methods to calculate the natural index, natural origin index, organic index and organic origin index for ingredients.
Ingredient categories: Applies to defined ingredient types from ISO 16128‑1 (pure substances, plant/animal/mineral materials, extracts, mixtures).
Extract handling: Specific rules for extracts (solvent contribution, concentration, reconstitution water, and limits on increasing organic/natural content beyond starting materials).
Water classification: Distinguishes constitutive, reconstitution, extraction and formulation water and their differing impacts on indexes.
Calculation approaches for products: Procedures to compute natural/natural origin and organic/organic origin content of finished cosmetics - both including and excluding formulation water.
Formulas and examples: Numerical formulas and informative annexes (A–C) with worked examples for index determination and product content calculation.

Applications

ISO 16128-2 is practical for organizations seeking consistent, science‑based quantification of natural/organic content in cosmetics:

Cosmetic formulators & manufacturers: to calculate product natural/organic content for internal documentation, product development and supplier evaluation.
Ingredient suppliers: to characterize ingredient indexes and provide transparent composition data to customers.
Quality & regulatory teams: to standardize internal metrics and demonstrate how content values were derived (note: the standard does not set labelling rules).
Certification bodies & auditors: to evaluate ingredient and product content using harmonized calculation methods.
R&D and sourcing: to assess the impact of extraction methods, solvents and reconstitution on final natural/organic content.
