The label: an important vehicle of information
From a viewpoint of responsible consumption, it is very important to observe the indications contained in the label, where ingredients must be reported according to the INCI technical nomenclature. The entire White Castle formulation, production, and control system is carried out according to high quality standards, in compliance with the 1223/2009 EU Cosmetic Regulation.
Discover the symbols that White Castle has chosen for easy and quick comprehension, in full transparency.
PAO (PERIOD AFTER OPENING)
In accordance with European Regulation, indication of the date of durability shall not be mandatory for cosmetic products with a minimum durability of more than 30 months. For such products, there shall be an indication of the period of time after opening for which the product can be used – under appropriate conditions- without any harm to the consumer. Pay attention, do not confuse PAO with expiration date! The Period After Opening symbol is an open jar. It is accompanied by the lifespan of the product contents in months.
DERMATOLOGICALLY TESTED
After meticulously screening our raw materials to source the most natural and gentlest ingredients, we test our finished products (but never on animals) in accredited external laboratories. Specifically, we work with a university of cosmetology for the patch tests and the “in use” tests to check all the properties of the product and ensure the satisfaction of the end customers.
ANIMALS
Our company is committed to animal welfare and is sensitive to this issue. We do not use raw materials of animal origin, and to communicate this commitment, we commissioned a graphic design studio to create a dedicated logo.
CLEAN ENERGY
La Nordica uses only certified energy from renewable sources, in addition to that produced by its photovoltaic system.
MADE IN ITALY
White Castle is proud to say it is a 100% Made in Italy brand. This means Italian products made exclusively in Italy with an Italian commitment to producing products of excellence since 1966. Making our products in Italy gives us greater control over our workers’ rights and our compliance with strict European legislation.
ORGANIC AND VEGAN COSMETICS
Products with this label are certified as ORGANIC AND VEGAN PRODUCTS. This offers an added quality guarantee as the product has passed all the strict checks regarding the origin of the ingredients and the organic production standards. We have chosen CCPB (Italy’s consortium for the control of organic products) as our certifying body, which manages all our accreditations and authorisations. These include the Ministry for Agricultural, Food and Forestry Policies regarding compliance with Council Regulation (EC) No. 834/2007 on organic agriculture, accreditation in accordance with the UNI IEC EN 45011 standard, and authorisations in the USA, Japan, Canada, Switzerland, Sweden, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Norway, Brazil and Korea.
