Understanding the Importance of Ecocert Certification in Holistic Cosmetics

Active in more than 130 countries around the world, the certification company Ecocert ensures a responsible approach towards the environment and consumers.

Shining a light on this essential certification, especially in the field of organic and natural cosmetics.

Founded in 1991 as a private initiative, the French company Ecocert was created to certify and preserve good environmental and societal practices across various consumer sectors. These practices are outlined in a regularly updated set of standards to best align with sustainable development goals.

This certification establishes trust between consumers and certified brands, ensuring a commitment to planetary protection. Contributing to responsible and sustainable consumption has become essential for all of us today.

The Ecocert certification applies to multiple fields, primarily organic agriculture, fair trade, and ecological and organic textiles. In our area of focus, this includes organic and/or natural cosmetics under the label "Cosmos organic" or more commonly, "Cosmos certification."

To obtain this certification, several sustainable development criteria must be met, influencing both the production and consumption of natural and/or organic beauty products:

• Environmentally and human health-friendly production and transformation processes
• Green chemistry
• Use of natural resources
• Absence of petrochemical ingredients (e.g., parabens or synthetic dyes)
• No GMOs
• Recyclable packaging
• 95% of the plant-based ingredients in a product must be organic
• Products must contain at least 20% organic ingredients, and 10% in rinse-off products
