In today's market, there is a growing demand for natural and organic cosmetics. Consumers are increasingly seeking products that are not only safe and effective but also environmentally friendly. To meet this demand, certifications like COSMOS Natural and Organic play a crucial role in ensuring that products meet high standards of quality, safety, and sustainability.

Understanding COSMOS Certifications

COSMOS, standing for Cosmetic Organic and Natural Standard, is a renowned certification that guarantees the integrity of cosmetic products. Developed by leading certification bodies, including ECOCERT, COSMOS provides a unified standard for natural and organic cosmetics across Europe and beyond.

COSMOS Natural Certification

The COSMOS Natural certification is designed for products made from natural ingredients. Key criteria include:

• Natural Origin: Ingredients must come from natural sources such as plants, minerals, or other natural substances.
• Limited Processing: Use of physical and simple chemical processes to preserve the natural state of ingredients.
• Environmental Practices: Eco-friendly practices throughout the product's lifecycle, including sustainable sourcing.
• Packaging: Preference for recyclable and environmentally friendly materials.

COSMOS Organic Certification

For products that meet higher organic standards, the COSMOS Organic certification requires:

• High Organic Content: At least 95% of agro-ingredients must be organic, with a minimum of 20% organic content overall (10% for rinse-off products).
• Certified Ingredients: Compliance with recognized organic farming standards.
• Production Standards: Strict guidelines to maintain organic integrity during production.
• No GMOs: Prohibition of genetically modified organisms.

The Role of ECOCERT

ECOCERT, a French-based certification body, is integral to the COSMOS standard. It certifies products that meet strict organic and sustainable practices, ensuring they are free from synthetic chemicals and GMOs. With a global presence in over 130 countries, ECOCERT is a trusted name in organic certification.

Ingredient Percentages in Certified Products

• Natural Certified Products: At least 95% of ingredients must be natural.
