ADA is the international association for preparative and apparative cosmetics and dietary supplements. The 90% of European cosmetics companies with SME size are preferred.
Cosmetic chemists, natural product chemists, dermatologists, toxicologists, lawyers and other experts in the ICADA team answer questions and provide help on every branch of the industry…
ICADA works in the working groups of the EU Commission, the ministries, the authorities and in scientific societies and provides the most up-to-date insider information from all industry sectors to the more than 6,000 German-speaking and, depending on the subject, many other international language participants.
As ICADA continues to follow directions and regulatory concerns about new or existing issues, ICADA is actively involved in representing the industry in many different areas.
The founder of the world’s first standard for organic and natural cosmetics directs the ICADA team. With more than 20 years of experience, ICADA offers a premium mark for organic and natural cosmetics , which is not only particularly strict and reliable thanks to the double control system, which permits relatively few additives (short positive list) to be close to nature, but also straight offers inexpensive conditions for the authentic typically medium and small natural cosmetics companies .
other ICADA activities among others: o technical criticisms and defense against the organizations like BUND, Ökotest, Code-Check, Global 2000 … o cosmetics market: trends, seals, ISO, new statements of action, advertising bans, small quantities … o initiatives for environment, social Together, sustainability, plastic avoidance …. o Topics of the natural cosmetics industry, which we did not find in label organizations and for which the ICADA team has the training, competence, financial means and access (list here)
O unlike German associations, ICADA is able to provide important first-hand information without meaning diluting and time-consuming detours at very short notice. Threatening product bans have been averted, nanomaterials, eD / “hormones”, microplastics have been discussed early and directed into the right bagnen, the glossary, the revised Annex III, plans for PMU etc are promptly presented with practical consequences and explains the application.
