Does Having Fewer Ingredients in a Cosmetic Mean it’s More Natural?

The number of ingredients in a cosmetic product doesn’t define its "naturalness." Rather, it’s about the origins of these ingredients. UK and EU cosmetics regulations allow wide variability in how brands label products as "natural." For consumers, understanding what “natural” means and looking for certifications—like COSMOS from the Soil Association—provides clearer guidance. A longer ingredient list could include multiple natural elements, such as plant-based oils and essences, each contributing to the product's quality and functionality. Additionally, opting for certified natural products can reduce environmental impact, as studies suggest these have a smaller carbon footprint compared to synthetic alternatives. With Salt of the Earth, you’re choosing 100% COSMOS-certified natural origin deodorants, offering peace of mind for you and the planet.
