(Aveda), L’Oréal (Sanflore) and others claim to be manufacturing several of their product lines from high quality organic raw materials which are certified. However, the products marketed by these companies may also contain a certain percentage of artificial ingredients.

When asked if the 'organic' market mentioned in the report is made up of brands making organic claims, but perhaps not possessing an actual certification, it stated that the companies do not necessarily have organic certification for their products (though most of them have organic/green certification for their ingredients). The market is basically studied from the perspective of demand for cosmetics products that are marketed around the value proposition of being green/organic.
