COSMOS Certification for Organic and Natural Cosmetics – Verdelle Skin
At Verdelle Skin, we believe in pure, sustainable, and high-quality skincare. That’s why we prioritize COSMOS certification for our organic and natural beauty products. But what exactly is COSMOS certification, and why is it essential for conscious beauty lovers? Let’s explore.
What is COSMOS Certification?
COSMOS (COSMetic Organic and Natural Standard) certification ensures that cosmetics meet the highest standards for organic and natural ingredients. It allows certified products to be commercialized worldwide, giving consumers confidence in their sustainability and purity.
Key Guarantees of COSMOS Certification
When a cosmetic product is COSMOS certified, it guarantees:
-
Environmentally friendly production and processing that prioritizes human health.
-
Development of green chemistry principles to minimize environmental impact.
-
Responsible use of natural resources, ensuring sustainability.
-
Respect for biodiversity, protecting plant and animal life.
-
Absence of petrochemical ingredients (except for authorized preservatives), such as parabens, phenoxyethanol, synthetic perfumes, and colorants.
-
GMO-free formulation, avoiding genetically modified organisms.
-
Recyclable packaging, reducing plastic waste and promoting eco-conscious consumption.
How Verdelle Skin Obtains COSMOS Certification
At Verdelle Skin, we are committed to transparency and sustainability. Our products comply with the international COSMOS standard or the private Ecocert standard to ensure that every ingredient meets the highest ethical and organic standards. Our certification process involves an in-depth verification of composition, processing, and packaging, giving you confidence in our skincare solutions.
Natural Origin Requirement
COSMOS certification mandates that all ingredients be from natural origin, except for a restrictive list of approved ingredients (including preservatives) allowed in small quantities. On average, products certified by Ecocert contain 99% natural ingredients.
Promoting Organic Ingredients
For a cosmetic product to achieve COSMOS ORGANIC certification, it must meet strict organic content requirements:
-
At least 95% of plant-based ingredients must be organic.
-
A minimum of 20% of the total formula must consist of organic ingredients (10% for rinse-off products).
Note: Water and minerals, though natural, are not classified as organic since they do not originate from agriculture. This explains why water-rich cosmetics may have a lower overall percentage of organic ingredients, whereas an anhydrous product like massage oil can be 100% organic.
