What it means	An EU-based natural-and-organic cosmetics certification. Three grades: Natural, Natural with Organic portion, and Organic.	Argentina's national organic mark under SENASA (National Food Safety and Quality Service). Implemented as a label in December 2012 under Law 25.127 (1999).	Japan's national organic standard under the Japanese Agricultural Standard system. The mark must appear on any food sold as 'organic' (有機 or オーガニック) in Japan.	Germany's largest organic farmers' association. Bioland-certified farms operate to a stricter private standard than the EU baseline.

Annual third-party verification.	Compliance with Argentine Law 25.127. Annual on-site inspection by SENASA-accredited certifier. Recognised as equivalent to EU + USDA organic under bilateral agreements.	≥95% organic ingredients. No synthetic pesticides, no synthetic fertilizers, no GMOs. Annual inspection by a MAFF-registered certifier.	Whole-farm conversion (no parallel conventional production). Lower permitted nitrogen inputs than EU baseline.

Does NOT	Mark is trademark-protected.	Domestic recognition only — exports use the buyer's national mark (USDA, EU Leaf) under equivalence.	Mutual recognition with the US, EU, and Canada applies to specific product categories — check each agreement before importing.	Like Naturland, membership-based — only Bioland-association farms can use the mark.
