NZ Skincare Company
NZ Skincare Company made a move in 2011 for its skincare brand ‘geoskincare’ to switch its organic certification to BioGro. Founder Penny Vergeest is proud to explain why.
The company, which makes and markets the geoskincare range says the decision to switch its organic certification to BioGro was an easy one. “BioGro is 100% focused on organics and has been at the forefront of commercial organics in New Zealand since it was founded over 28 years ago” says Penny Vergeest, Director at NZ Skincare Company.
Like us, BioGro continues to be led by its original philosophical roots with Organic Standards that support its founding organic principles.
Becoming certified-organic by BioGro was a significant achievement for the Hamilton-based company which markets its skincare products throughout New Zealand and is starting to grow its range around the world.
She adds “Being associated with BioGro guarantees our customers that the highest organic standards have been met every step of the way.”
Customers can be sure we are using products that contain pure, certified-organic ingredients – this is our commitment to them.
Because there is no specific labelling law surrounding what can be called natural or organic, some companies have been taking advantage of that. The consumer loses out because they end up unsure about which products are actually natural or organic.
“Being independently certified gives our customers confidence that they are using products that avoid harmful chemicals…
…such as phenoxyethanol, parabens, mineral oil, petrochemicals, sodium lauryl sulphate, genetically modified ingredients, artificial colours or fragrances, propylene glycol, pegs, deas, edta, triethanolamine, isopropyl alcohol, and formaldehyde.”
The company, founded in 2000 by Penny Vergeest, uses organic ingredients made from unique minerals found only in New Zealand geothermal regions, pure extracts and organic oils to create natural skincare solutions.
