COSMOS CERTIFIED ORGANIC

The COSMOS Standard is the unified organic and natural cosmetics standard for Europe. The founding members are BDIH - Germany, Cosmebio - France, Ecocert - France, ICEA - Italy and the Soil Association - UK.

The COSMOS Standard defines the criteria that companies must meet to ensure consumers that their products are genuine organic or natural cosmetics produced to the highest feasible sustainability practices.

The COSMOS Standard is managed by a not-for-profit, international and independent association – the Brussels based COSMOS-standard AISBL.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Never use Water-based product to remove headlice eggs.

Schools often send notes home instructing parents to comb the hair with conditioner to inspect for headlice. Although well meaning, this advice is not as helpful as it is intended to be.

Water-based product will swell human hair 15% within 2 minutes making the lice eggs more difficult to remove.

Oil-based products will not swell the hairshaft and are transparent making it much easier to identify the live lice and much easier to remove lice and thier nit eggs from the hair.

TOUGH TO REMOVE

Why are nit eggs so tough to remove

The nit eggs are glued to the hairsaft by a liquid chitisan. Chitisan is the same natural material as the shell of a beetle, so once it dries and hardens it forms a permanent casing around the hair fibre.

Only sliding the casing up the hairshaft will allow it to be removed.

Nit Ninja Nit Picker Pre-Shampoo Combing Oil is formulated to penetrate beneath the tough shell structure and lubricate the hair fibre to allow for effortless removal of the egg.
