Our defoamer EROLINE BIO K is now listed among the imputs usable for organic production according to regulation (EC) No 834/2007. Beyond the organic regulation, we are currently developing a defoamer eligible to Cosmos certification. COSMOS reference document concerns organic and natural cosmetics. Please feel free to ask for any information.
