What are ECOCERT & COSMOS?

ECOCERT

ECOCERT is an international organic certification organization based in France. It is one of the largest and most respected certification bodies in the world. ECOCERT focuses on the certification of organic agricultural products and sustainable practices. Here’s a breakdown of what ECOCERT stands for:

Organic Certification: ECOCERT certifies products that meet strict organic standards, ensuring they are free from synthetic chemicals, GMOs, and other harmful substances. This applies to food, cosmetics, textiles, and more.

• Sustainable Practices: Beyond organic farming, ECOCERT also certifies products and companies that follow sustainable practices, such as fair trade, environmental conservation, and responsible resource management.

• Global Reach: While it started in France, ECOCERT now operates in over 130 countries, making it a globally recognized and trusted certification.

COSMOS

COSMOS stands for COSMetic Organic and Natural Standard. It is a standard developed by five leading certification bodies – including ECOCERT – to unify organic and natural cosmetic standards across Europe and beyond. Here’s what you need to know about COSMOS:

• Unified Standard: COSMOS provides a single, unified standard for organic and natural cosmetics, ensuring consistency and transparency for consumers worldwide.

• Certification Types: COSMOS offers two types of certification:

  • COSMOS Organic: For products that contain a high percentage of organic ingredients.

  • COSMOS Natural: For products that may not meet the organic criteria but still adhere to strict natural ingredient guidelines.

• Comprehensive Criteria: The COSMOS standard covers the entire lifecycle of a cosmetic product, including sourcing of ingredients, manufacturing processes, packaging, and labeling, ensuring they are environmentally friendly and safe for consumers.
