Ecocert is an organic certification and inspection body established in France in 1991. With activity in over 80 countries it has become one of the largest organic certification organizations in the world and one of the best known labels in the field of standardization regarding natural cosmetics. The ‘Natural and organic cosmetic label’ has a minimum of 95% of all plant-based ingredients in the formula and a minimum of 10% of all ingredients by weight must come from organic farming.
To ensure an environmentally friendly cosmetic product, the Ecocert standard lays down that the ingredients are derived from renewable resources and manufactured by using environmentally friendly processes.
Ecocert therefore checks the absence of: GMO; Parabens; Phenoxyethanol; Nanoparticles; Silicon; PEG; Synthetic perfumes and dyes; Animal-derived ingredients (unless naturally produced by them: milk, honey, etc.).
