Certified Organic
Antipodes is strong on limiting human exposure to synthetic chemicals and limiting human effect on the environment, so it certifies its organic products and aspires to the lightest of carbon footprints.
Antipodes always favours the use of raw ingredients that are cultivated sustainably on certified organic orchards.
What are the criteria for a fully certified organic product?
100% natural ingredients
70 to 95% of these natural ingredients must be certified organic
Strict international criteria govern all of the remaining ingredients.
Antipodes products are certified organic by the independent government body AsureQuality Ltd, the leading provider of food safety and biosecurity services in the southern hemisphere. It upholds the strictest worldwide organic standards.
The other premium natural products in the Antipodes range are very clean and pure, using high quality raw materials with low or no residue component.

Dermatogically Approved
Several Antipodes products are dermatologically approved for sensitive skin. Tests are conducted in a New York Laboratory where 50 women with self-nominated sensitive skin are subject to repeated patch testing of Antipodes products over a period of six weeks.
Sensitive skin is an inherited condition, or genetic predisposition. It usually occurs in fair skin (people with northern European ancestry), which has less pigmentation and a thinner epidermal layer. People with sensitive skin are prone to redness, facial flushing and itchiness, and can also be more vulnerable to allergies.
Sensitised skin is skin that changes or becomes 'sensitised' to various cosmetics, environmental aggressors or a bad diet. It is not genetic and people of any ethnicity can suffer from sensitised skin during their lifetime. Its severity varies depending on factors like climate, air conditioning and indoor heating. Sensitised skin is less visible than sensitive skin and resides at deeper levels of the dermis, but still results in stinging and itchiness. It can be managed by ensuring your diet contains essential fats, and supporting this with beauty products that help improve and increase the skin's natural barrier, thereby increasing and balancing sebum production.

Vegetarian Approved
We are proud to be approved by the UK Vegetarian Society, the oldest vegetarian organisation in the world. Every Antipodes product is audited annually to meet the strict criteria for approved vegetarian status. The approval means if you're vegetarian, or opposed to animal testing of beauty products, you can have confidence that a globally respected vegetarian organisation has independently assessed our range and given us the okay.
We never, ever test our skincare on animals, and there's no cross-contamination during the production process. All our products are free from any animal ingredient resulting from slaughter, and free from genetically modified organisms (GMOs). We don’t use any animal by-products except honey, which is accepted and eaten by vegetarians because honeybees must make honey to live.
