COSMOS
COSMOS Certification – Organic and Natural Cosmetics
Commit to Sustainability and Clean Beauty
The COSMOS standard is a globally recognized framework for certifying organic and natural cosmetic products, ensuring they are produced responsibly and transparently. Guided by four key principles, COSMOS promotes:
- The use of organic ingredients and respect for biodiversity
- Responsible use of natural resources and environmental care
- Clean and safe processes for human health and the environment
- The development of green chemistry principles
What Does the COSMOS Standard Cover?
The COSMOS standard addresses every stage of a cosmetic product’s life cycle, including supply, manufacturing, marketing, and control. Key areas include:
- Composition of Total Product: Defines how to calculate organic content and the minimum organic percentages required for certification.
- Origin and Processing of Ingredients: Standards for water, minerals, and processed agricultural components, ensuring purity and sustainability.
- Storage, Manufacturing, and Packaging: Focuses on hygiene, traceability, and environmentally friendly packaging solutions.
- Environmental Management: Sets requirements for waste management, recycling, and environmental protection throughout production.
- Labeling and Communication: Ensures accurate, transparent product labeling and advertising to avoid misleading claims.
- Audit, Certification, and Control: All products, raw materials, and manufacturers are assessed and certified by authorized independent bodies.
