What do the Organic Symbols mean?

Quality Assurance Organic Certification

QAI - Quality Assurance International

In 1994 Aubrey Organics® became the first personal care company to be certified as an organic processor by Quality Assurance International of San Diego, CA. Aubrey's manufacturing plant in Tampa, Florida is regularly inspected and has been certified as a facility where organic ingredients are handled to US Dept. of Agriculture’s National Organic Program standards.

Aubrey Organics are committed to using premium natural and organic ingredients and the list of certified organic herbs and plant extracts you’ll find in our products keeps growing!

BDIH - Certified Natural Cosmetics

In 2004 Aubrey Organics® became the first U.S. company to bear the BDIH Certified Natural Cosmetics seal. BDIH stands for Germany’s prestigious Federation of German Industries and Trading Firms for Medicines, Natural Products, Food Supplements and Body Care (Bundesverband Deutscher Industrie und Handelsunternehmen für Arzneimittel, Reformwaren, Nahrungsergänzungsmittel und Körperpflege, or BDIH in German).

Based in Mannheim, Germany, the BDIH Certified Natural Cosmetic seal was created in 1996 to establish strict guidelines for the manufacture of natural cosmetics. Only companies using the finest, plant-based ingredients and ecologically responsible manufacturing practices can be BDIH certified. Aubrey Organics® is proud to display the BDIH Certified Natural Cosmetic seal in its European labels.

Leaping Bunny – Cruelty Free

All Aubrey Organics® products carry the “leaping bunny” logo, the internationally recognized symbol for “cruelty free” cosmetics. Established by the Coalition for Consumer Information in Cosmetics (CCIC), a group of eight national animal protection organizations, the leaping bunny represents a single, comprehensive standard. Whenever you see this logo, you can be sure neither the product, nor any of its ingredients has been tested on animals.

For the last 40 years Aubrey Organics® and its CEO and founder, Aubrey Hampton, have been vocal opponents of animal testing. We have never tested on animals, and we never will.
