We chose COSMOS certification because it is an independent confirmation of compliance with strict standards for natural and organic cosmetics. Our certification was carried out by Ecocert, a reputable certification body, according to the COSMOS standard. Ecocert has carefully reviewed our products and manufacturing process and confirmed that we meet the requirements in terms of ingredients, environmental sustainability, packaging and ethical practices. This certification is strong evidence of our commitment to eco-friendly and ethical cosmetics and offers our customers confidence in the quality and purity of our products.

Ecocert focuses on several areas, including:

• Use of environmentally friendly and health-safe manufacturing and production processes
• Development of the concept of "green chemistry"
• Responsible use of natural resources
• Promoting biodiversity
• No petrochemical ingredients (except for approved preservatives): parabens, phenoxyethanol, synthetic fragrances and dyes
• Avoidance of GMOs
• Recyclable or biodegradable packaging

Ecocert attaches great importance to environmentally friendly and sustainable practices in the cosmetics industry in order to protect the health of consumers and promote the protection of nature.

According to the COSMOS standard that Ecocert follows, certain requirements apply to the use of raw materials and packaging:

1. Raw materials: Ecocert requires the use of natural or near-natural raw materials that are sustainably obtained and have undergone minimal processing. The use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) is not permitted.
2. Packaging: Ecocert places value on environmentally friendly packaging. This should preferably be recyclable or biodegradable in order to reduce waste. The use of petrochemical materials in packaging is avoided.

Through these specifications for raw materials and packaging, Ecocert ensures that the products meet ecological requirements and promote responsible use of natural resources

The difference between COSMOS Organic and COSMOS Natural lies in the requirements regarding the proportion of natural and organic ingredients in the products:

1. COSMOS Organic: Products that carry the COSMOS Organic certificate must contain a certain percentage of organic ingredients. This percentage varies depending on the product category, but is usually between 20% and 95%. In addition, all other ingredients must be of natural origin and meet strict requirements regarding their origin, extraction and processing.
2. COSMOS Natural: Products with the COSMOS Natural certificate focus on natural ingredients. The majority of the ingredients used must be of natural origin, although specific requirements apply here too for their origin and processing. The proportion of organic ingredients may be lower in COSMOS Natural products than in COSMOS Organic products.

Overall, both COSMOS Organic and COSMOS Natural guarantee a high standard for natural and organic cosmetic products. The difference lies in the exact composition of the ingredients and the percentage of organic components in the products.

We offer a wide range of products that respond to the individual needs of our customers. Some of our products contain active ingredients such as niacinamide, bakuchiol and retinol, which have proven and long-researched effectiveness. However, these active ingredients cannot be certified by Ecocert.

Yes, all products that carry the Vegan Society certificate are 100% vegan. This means that they do not contain any animal ingredients and have not been tested on animals. The certification ensures that the products are free from any animal ingredients and that no animal materials were used during the manufacturing process.

The Vegan Society tests and certifies products to ensure they are vegan. If a product has the certificate, you can trust that it does not contain any animal ingredients and has not been tested on animals.

Using vegan-certified products helps reduce animal suffering and promote environmental protection. By avoiding animal ingredients and animal testing, you support a more ethical and sustainable lifestyle. Vegan-certified products are not only good for the animals, but also for your own health and for protecting the environment. By choosing these products, you are contributing to a better and animal-friendly world.

The Vegan Society offers an extensive database of certified products on its website. There, consumers can search by category such as food, cosmetics, home goods, etc. and specifically look for vegan options. This list is updated regularly to ensure that consumers always have access to a wide range of vegan products.

PETA-certified products are regularly checked and audited to ensure that they continue to meet the standards and criteria.

The PETA certificate is uniform and indicates that the product meets PETA's strict criteria. There are no different certification levels.

Purchasing PETA-certified products supports companies that promote cruelty-free and ethical practices and do not use animal-derived ingredients.

Our company had to prove that it does not conduct animal testing, does not use animal ingredients and is committed to animal welfare.
