Do You Really Know What You're Putting on Your Skin? | Australian Manufactured Products

 

All of the manufacturers we work with are based in Australia, as a result we charge higher prices to make up for the cost of working with those manufacturers.

 

Why do we work with Australian manufacturers only?

 

Because Australian manufacturers provide unique ingredients, commitment to ethical and sustainable practices, adherence to high-quality Australian standards, potential for ingredient sourcing, and supportive innovation in Australian made product development.

 

What are the benefits of Australian made soaps?

 

Australian soap manufacturers must adhere to product safety regulations set by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), ensuring products are safe and free from harmful substances, with ingredient and advertising claims not being misleading. Additionally, they must comply with the Australian Industrial Chemicals Introduction Scheme (AICIS) for ingredient importation and follow the Poisons Standard for classification of ingredients and finished products.

AICIS (Australian Industrial Chemicals Introduction Scheme)
If you import or make chemicals used in cosmetics (including some soap ingredients), you may need to register with AICIS. Whether you must register—and what you have to report—depends on the type and amount of chemicals you use.

Poisons Standard - do you know what's in your soap?
Some ingredients are classified (or “scheduled”) based on their risk. Manufacturers must check each ingredient and make sure both the formula and the finished product comply with those classifications.

Australian Consumer Law (ACL)
It’s illegal to make false, misleading, or deceptive claims about cosmetic products. In plain English: say what’s true, don’t overpromise, and make sure any claims (like “gentle on sensitive skin”) are accurate and supportable.

While there isn't one single mandatory standard, manufacturers must ensure their soap is safe to use, well-labeled, and meets all relevant consumer and product safety laws.
