What Is COSMOS Natural?
COSMOS Natural is an international standard that requires the use of naturally derived raw materials in cosmetic products and the adoption of environmentally responsible manufacturing processes. According to this standard: The use of organic ingredients is not mandatory. The proportion of petrochemical ingredients must not exceed 2%. Manufacturing processes must be environmentally friendly and safe for human health. Product formulations must be transparently documented, and misleading organic claims must be avoided. Products bearing the COSMOS Natural logo represent a production philosophy that respects nature and consumer health.
