Apart from a general appetite from skin care users towards natural and organic cosmetics, it just so happens that some of the finest ingredients used in today's cosmeceuticals are actually derived from natural sources. Medik8 uses green chemistry which is an emerging field of science that refers to more environmental and skin friendly manufacturing techniques especially with regard to the production and extraction of actives. Medik8 avoid using ethoxylation techniques for example.

Medik8 promise to use the green biochemistry techniques wherever it does not compromise the user’s sensitivity or the product’s effectiveness – this is why Medik8 is a pioneering green cosmeceutical range.

Even though Medik8 is not marketed as a 'Natural' or 'Organic' brand - it is actually entitled to label itself as Medik8 Natural or even Medik8 Organic. Of course, every Medik8 formula complies fully with the European Union's EC Cosmetics Directive 1976 (as amended) but what is more surprising given Medik8 is a high-end cosmeceutical company is that the majority of Medik8 formulae also meets and in many cases far exceed the requirements set by organic and natural certification bodies such as the Soil Association, BDIH, Ecocert and Organic Farmers & Growers. Medik8 have chosen at this stage not to gain organic certification as we do not wish this process to detract from the more important company focus of results based research.
