Expert Verdict
Origin verification is critical — can be synthetic, plant-derived, or animal-derived (bovine/porcine). Animal origin creates regulatory complexity (BSE/TSE compliance, Nagoya Protocol, religious/vegan labeling). Synthetic or plant-derived sources are strongly preferred for COSMOS/ECOCERT compliance. Supplier must provide full composition breakdown since Epidermis Lipids is a generic term covering variable mixtures.
