The importance of UEBT in the cosmetics world

What is UEBT?

 

UEBT stands for Union For Ethical BioTrade, and is a non-profit association that promotes the ethical sourcing of botanical natural ingredients.

The association supports and reviews companies' commitments to sourcing natural ingredients with the aim of contributing to a world in which all people and biodiversity thrive.
