A new draft version of GECA’s standard for personal care products is now available for public comment!
Personal care products are an intimate part of our everyday routines; therefore, it is critically important to understand their impact on the environment and human health.
That’s why GECA created a lifecycle ecolabel standard to define good environmental and social performance benchmarks for the following categories of personal care products:
• Liquid and solid soaps
• Shaving creams and foams
• Facial toners
• Exfoliants
• Moisturisers
• Deodorants
• Cosmetics
• Nail polish and removers
• Tanning lotions
• Perfumes and cologne
• Sunscreen
• Insect Repellents
• Oral hygiene products
• Shampoos and conditioners
• Hair treatments and styling products
As part of our commitment to continuous improvement, each standard is subject to a transparent and comprehensive review process, including consultation with our technical advisory group (TAG). GECA now welcomes comments on the Personal Care Products (PCPv5.0-2022) standard from the public and industry professionals until 10 May 2022.
A draft copy of the updated standard is available here. Please submit comments and feedback to standards@geca.org.au or +61 (2) 9699 2850.
