Q&A

Why is Oliva by CCS going Eco?
Improvements are part of CCS's vision, and we choose to describe our progress in an honest manner. To emphasize that Oliva by CCS Eco contains only carefully selected ingredients, we have designed two different stamps: "Eco-certified" and "Readily biodegradable".

What do the round stamps tell me?  

The percentage on the stamp shows what percentage of all raw ingredients are used in the products bearing an eco-certified or readily biodegradable stamp. The organic certification may be Ecocert, BDIH, Soil Association, etc.

In Oliva by CCS eco, we strive to eco-certify all ingredients whenever possible, but there is a small number that are not. This is because there is no corresponding certified organic ingredient available, but it is a raw ingredient that is needed for the final product. Those raw ingredients that are not certified, but which are used in the product, are therefor not included in the % figure on the stamp.

What are eco-certified ingredients?
The ecological ingredients are certified by an authorised body such as Ecocert, BDIH, or the Soil Association. Each body has established criteria for how the raw ingredient must be produced in order to be ecologically certified and to be called ecological. CCS endeavours to use as high a percentage of eco-certified ingredients as possible in all Oliva eco products.

What are readily biodegradable ingredients?
Readily biodegradable ingredients do not bioaccumulate in the environment. They break down after a short time and therefore have minimal impact on the environment when they eventually end up in our water courses.

All Oliva by CCS tenside products (products we wash ourselves with) that are marked "eco" contain as many readily biodegradable ingredients as possible. The percentage of readily biodegradable material in the product is indicated on the stamp.

Do the products contain parabens, silicon or mineral oils?
In Oliva by CCS, we offer customers natural quality raw ingredients for the skin. Therefore, we have chosen to work with vegetable products and to remove parabens, mineral oils and silicon in the  Oliva ECO series.
