Ecocert Cosmos Certification
At Cocoon Apothecary, we are proud to hold the ECOCERT COSMOS Natural and Organic Certification, a globally recognized standard for natural and organic cosmetics. This certification guarantees that our products meet strict requirements for ingredient sourcing, manufacturing processes, and environmental impact, ensuring that we provide you with the highest quality, eco-conscious skincare.
What is ECOCERT COSMOS?
ECOCERT is one of the most reputable certification bodies in the world for natural and organic cosmetics. The COSMOS (COSMetic Organic and Natural Standard) certification is a unified European standard that defines and regulates what is considered "natural" and "organic" in the cosmetic industry. This certification ensures that products are formulated with safe, environmentally friendly ingredients and sustainable practices.
Natural vs. Organic: What's the Difference?
Understanding the distinction between natural and organic ingredients is key to recognizing the value of ECOCERT COSMOS certification:
Natural Ingredients: These are derived from natural sources like plants, minerals, and marine ingredients. They are minimally processed to preserve their natural state and beneficial properties. Natural ingredients used in ECOCERT-certified products must meet strict criteria to ensure they are free from harmful synthetic chemicals, GMOs, and environmentally damaging processes.
Organic Ingredients: These are natural ingredients that are grown and harvested under strict organic farming standards, which prohibit the use of synthetic pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers. Organic farming practices promote soil health, biodiversity, and ecological balance. For a product to be labeled as "organic" by ECOCERT COSMOS, a minimum of 20% of the total ingredients (10% for rinse-off products) must be organically farmed. This ensures that organic products have a significant proportion of certified organic ingredients.
ECOCERT COSMOS Standards for Certification
Ingredient Sourcing: At least 95% of the ingredients used must be of natural origin. For organic certification, a minimum percentage of these natural ingredients must come from certified organic sources.
Processing: Only environmentally friendly processes and methods are used to create our products, preserving the purity and potency of the ingredients.
Packaging: ECOCERT COSMOS also evaluates the packaging materials to ensure they are recyclable or biodegradable, minimizing environmental impact.
Transparency: Products with this certification must disclose all ingredients and their natural or organic origin, providing full transparency to consumers.
