COSMOS Certification
YOUR GUIDE TO NATURAL AND ORGANIC COSMETICS
As our consciousness of ingredients in products we use daily deepens, the demand for natural and organic cosmetics has surged. As we prioritize products that not only deliver outstanding results but also safeguard our bodies and honor the well-being of our planet, certifications hold immense significance. They offer the reassurance that the choices we make are not only informed but are also in harmony with our core values.
Among the most esteemed and widely recognized certifications in the world of natural and organic cosmetics is the COSMOS Certification. Such certifications are invaluable, as COSMOS is a globally recognized standard in the cosmetic industry, giving consumers confidence that their choices align with their preferences for organic and natural products.
WHAT IS COSMOS CERTIFICATION?
COSMOS (COSMetic Organic and Natural Standard) is an internationally recognized certification for natural and organic cosmetics. Developed by leading certification bodies including Ecocert, BDIH, Cosmebio, and others, COSMOS sets high standards for cosmetic products, ensuring that they meet strict criteria for organic ingredients, sustainable sourcing, and ethical production.
WHY IS COSMOS CERTIFICATION IMPORTANT?
In today’s competitive cosmetics market, where new brands seem to pop up every day, the COSMOS Certification offers you several key benefits:
1. Credibility and Trust: With the rise of "greenwashing"—where some brands falsely claim to be organic or natural—you want to be sure the products you’re buying are truly eco-friendly and safe.
2. Sustainability Focus: COSMOS looks beyond just the ingredients in cosmetics—it also considers the sustainability of the entire production process.
3. Compliance with Regulations: COSMOS Certification helps cosmetic brands stay in line with international regulations for organic and natural products.
COSMOS CERTIFICATION STANDARDS

Organic Ingredients: At least 20% of the total ingredients must be certified organic for the product to be labeled.
SUSTAINABILITY
