What is Certificate of IASC CERTIFICATION PROGRAM?
The International Aloe Science Council (IASC) developed its certification program to ensure transparency, consistency, and quality in aloe vera products across the industry. Built on a testing concept initiated by member companies, this program allows aloe growers, processors, and manufacturers to voluntarily submit their facilities and products for a comprehensive audit and testing process. Those who successfully meet the rigorous standards are granted the right to display the IASC Certification Seal on their packaging and promotional materials. Building on a robust testing framework created by its member companies, the International Aloe Science Council (IASC) established a comprehensive certification program aimed at ensuring the integrity and quality of aloe vera products. This initiative allows aloe growers, processors, and manufacturers to voluntarily submit their facilities and products for a thorough auditing process and a series of rigorous laboratory tests. Companies that meet the stringent criteria are awarded the IASC Seal of Certification, also known as the Certification Mark, which they can proudly display on their products and marketing materials. The presence of the IASC Certification Seal signifies a company’s commitment to excellence and transparency. It assures consumers that the aloe content in the product is not only present in meaningful amounts but also meets the IASC’s strict standards for quality, purity, and accurate labeling. This distinction helps certified companies stand out in the marketplace by providing consumers with confidence that they are purchasing genuine, high-grade aloe vera products backed by independent verification. Ultimately, the IASC certification empowers businesses to showcase their dedication to best practices while giving customers peace of mind. By sourcing aloe from certified facilities and adhering to IASC standards, certified companies reinforce trust in their brand and contribute to raising industry standards across the board.
