Our label

What our mark means

When you see the UEBT certification label it means that a botanical was harvested or grown in a way that respects people and biodiversity.

The label stands for our seven principles of ethical sourcing founded inside the UEBT standard:

Significance of the label image

The UEBT certification label has three parts, referring to plants (the leaf), animals (the face) and people (the hands representing how people need to care for biodiversity) and the entire image is a circle representing our one planet.

UEBT’s certification of specific natural ingredients allows brands to use the label with the name of the certified ingredient on top, off-pack. Brands may also be able to use the label on-pack with additional requirements. Producers and traders may use the label on client-facing packaging.

Companies that have UEBT certification follow the UEBT claims and labelling policy and can access our marketing toolkit to help them communicate.

Companies join UEBT as a member before they engage in the certification process. Visit our certification page for more details.
