COSMOS NATURAL Certificate
The COSMOS standard AISBL is a non-profit international association, founded by BDIH, Cosmebio, Ecocert, ICEA and the Soil Association. The association has created a COSMOS standard, awarding two types of certificates for natural and organic cosmetics products: COSMOS NATURAL and COSMOS ORGANIC. The COSMOS ORGANIC certificate requires more organically produced ingredients than the COSMOS NATURAL certificate.
COSMOS NATURAL certificate criteria:
-
nanomaterials, genetically engineered ingredients and irradiation are prohibited
-
palm oil must be organic or CSPO certified
-
direct and indirect environmental impacts of packaging activities must be minimized
-
an environmental management plan must be drawn up
