Ingredient Safety & Materials Policy

Our Commitment

The Green Woman is committed to creating products using carefully selected ingredients that prioritise human health and environmental responsibility.

We seek to avoid ingredients that are unnecessary, persistent in the environment, or associated with concerns relating to human health, endocrine disruption or ecological harm.

Ingredients We Do Not Use

The Green Woman does not intentionally use:

• PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances)
• Phthalates
• Parabens
• Formaldehyde
• Formaldehyde-releasing preservatives
• Triclosan
• Microplastics and microbeads
• Poorly biodegradable liquid polymers

Our Approach

Where possible, we formulate using:

• Certified organic ingredients
• Plant-based oils and butters
• Naturally derived ingredients
• Readily biodegradable ingredients
• Ingredients with a strong safety profile

The majority of our products are certified under the Soil Association COSMOS Organic standard, providing independent verification of ingredient requirements and restrictions.

Continuous Review

We continually monitor emerging scientific evidence, regulatory developments and best practice guidance regarding ingredient safety and environmental impact.

Our ingredient standards are reviewed regularly as part of our product development and certification processes.

Review

This policy is reviewed annually.
