Overview

ISO 16128-2:2017/Amd 1:2022 is an International Organization for Standardization (ISO) amendment to Part 2 of ISO 16128 - Guidelines on technical definitions and criteria for natural and organic cosmetic ingredients. Part 2 defines practical criteria for ingredients and products, and Amendment 1 (published 2022) clarifies and corrects calculation formulas, variable definitions and worked examples used to determine natural index and organic index values in cosmetic formulations. The document was prepared by ISO/TC 217 (Cosmetics) and is guidance for the cosmetics sector.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Revision of calculation formulas: Amendment 1 updates legends and variable definitions used to calculate indices for natural and organic content (natural index I, organic index Io and organic origin index). The amendment clarifies how solvent masses are classified and summed in the formulas.
• Solvent categorization: Definitions and mass categories clarified for solvents such as:
  • natural but not organic solvents
  • derived-natural but not derived-organic solvents
  • derived-organic solvents
  • total mass introduced (ingredients and ingredient solvents)
• Fresh/dry ratio correction: The amendment clarifies that the ratio k should be interpreted as fresh/dry (not dry/fresh) in relevant formulae.
• Worked examples corrected: Annex B examples (e.g., extraction of organic fresh flowers to produce hydrolate) are revised to show corrected calculations of organic index values (one example yields Io = 0.25), which helps users apply the formulas to real extraction and formulation scenarios.
• Guidance nature: The standard provides guidance rather than regulatory requirements; users should combine it with applicable national/regional rules and certification schemes.

Applications and practical use

• Cosmetic formulators use the guidelines to quantify the proportion of natural and organic content in formulas and to support product claims.
• Ingredient suppliers reference the criteria to classify ingredient origins and to provide consistent data to customers.
• Certification bodies and auditors apply the index calculations during certification, label verification and compliance checks.
• Regulatory and quality teams use the standard to harmonize internal specifications, documentation and marketing claims related to “natural” and “organic” cosmetics.
• Laboratories and R&D groups use the worked examples to validate calculation methods when analysing product composition.

Who should read this

• Cosmetic manufacturers, product developers, ingredient suppliers, certification bodies, quality managers and regulatory affairs professionals operating in natural/organic personal care markets.

Related standards

• ISO 16128-1 (technical definitions and criteria - Part 1) - consult together for full context on definitions and methodology.
• Regional organic/cosmetic labeling standards and certification schemes (use in conjunction with ISO guidance).

Note: ISO 16128-2 and its amendment are voluntary guidance documents intended to increase transparency and consistency in assessing natural/organic content in cosmetic products.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
