Cosmos Organic certified cosmetics, a safer choice for your skin

Selecting quality ingredients is our priority.

Nowadays, and especially in 2025, it's legitimate to ask why you should choose a certified organic cosmetic product over another. Certification bodies were established to ensure the traceability of ingredients in certified skincare products. They also guarantee the absence of substances known to be harmful to the skin and the environment. As such, the COSMOS standard establishes a list of ingredients prohibited in the certification of cosmetic products.

Here is some information that you will find on the COSMOS STANDARD page

The Cosmos standard is an international certification for cosmetic products guided by four fundamental principles:

• Promote the use of organic farming products and respect biodiversity.
• Use resources responsibly and with respect for the environment.
• Use clean processes that respect human health and the environment.
• Integrate and develop the concept of green chemistry.

The COSMOS standard covers in detail all aspects of the sourcing, manufacturing, marketing, and control of cosmetic products. COSMOS-accredited Certification Bodies inspect each of these aspects when certifying an organic or natural product. The main sections of the COSMOS standard are chapters 6 to 11.
