Are your products certified organic?
We believe in ethical and sustainable agriculture and business practices, including organic farming, and we source certified organic ingredients whenever possible. Our products themselves are not certified organic — except our certified USDA Organic Tea Tree Oil, Aloe Vera Oil and Coconut Oil. All organic ingredients found in our products meet all federal requirements for organic ingredients in food products and are noted in our ingredient lists. These ingredients are certified by organizations including Quality Assurance International (QAI), Oregon Tilth, and other respected third party organic certification agencies.
Are your products vegan?
Jason products use vegetarian ingredients and are cruelty-free.
Are your formulas biodegradable?
JĀSÖN® formulas are primarily composed of plant-based ingredients which are generally biodegradable and environmentally-friendly. For some of our product lines, we have had them tested by an independent lab and validated their biodegradability – our everyday shampoos and conditioners, body washes, hand soaps and sunscreens (except Facial Sunscreen) are all third-party confirmed biodegradable formulas. If you have any further questions, please contact our consumer relations team.
Do your products contain sodium lauryl sulfate?
Some JĀSÖN® surfactant products (shampoos, soaps) contain an alcohol-based sulfate known as sodium coco sulfate. This ingredient was chosen because it is plant-derived, meets our high standard for gentleness and creates a luxurious sudsy lather during use. Multiple organizations, including an independent team of toxicologists known as CIR, and the EU Scientific Committee on Consumer Science, agree that sodium coco sulfate is a mild and safe ingredient. Sodium coco sulfate is also an approved surfactant under the NSF/ANSI 305 Standard for Personal Care Products Containing Organic Ingredients. Sodium coco sulfate is created from the coconut plant which contains a natural blend of several types of alcohols that can produce sulfates. Coconut alcohol naturally contains lauryl alcohol which is the origin material for sodium lauryl sulfate. For this reason, products made with sodium coco sulfate may contain some amount of naturally occurring sodium lauryl sulfate. Because it is blended with milder surfactants, it is much milder than purified sodium lauryl sulfate. JĀSÖN® products currently claim to be made without sodium lauryl sulfate. While there is no sodium lauryl sulfate directly added to our products or listed in our ingredient lists, we acknowledge that there may be some amount of sodium lauryl sulfate contained in some of our surfactant products as a constituent of the sodium coco sulfate. For this reason, we believe it is more accurate to remove this claim from our packaging and materials and have begun that process. We also continue to evaluate alternative surfactant ingredients that deliver superior product performance while meeting our high standards for gentleness and safety.

Do you test your products on animals?
We do not. We share your concern that animals not be used to test cosmetics, toiletries and household products. We do not test our products or ingredients on animals, nor do we ask others to do so for us. Furthermore, we require that all our ingredient suppliers meet the same criteria of no animal testing. The Leaping Bunny logo found on our labels is an outward symbol of our commitment.
What does the Leaping Bunny logo on your packaging represent?
The Leaping Bunny logo is an internationally recognized symbol for cruelty-free cosmetics, personal care and household products. In 1996, eight national animal protection groups banded together to form The Coalition for Consumer Information on Cosmetics (CCIC). This organization created and administers the Leaping Bunny Program, a cruelty-free standard for companies producing cosmetic, personal care, and household products. The Leaping Bunny Program provides the best assurance that no new animal testing is used in any phase of product development by the company, its laboratories, or suppliers.
Is your packaging recyclable?
For all of our packages, please refer to the recycle symbol and handle accordingly for the area in which you live. Our cardboard packaging can be recycled along with other chipboard and cardboard materials.
