Cosmetics
The development of a natural and organic cosmetics industry that is transparent to consumers and respectful of the environment is a major challenge for all players in the sector. We support you in tackling this challenge and thus contribute to the beauty of tomorrow.
Act for a more sustainable cosmetics sector
Integrate environment protection into each stage of the production
Preserving biodiversity, promoting organic and renewable materials, employing green chemistry, encouraging better management of natural resources, emissions and waste, and using recyclable packaging.
Ensure the development of socially responsible sectors
Advising producers, enabling dignified working conditions, setting fair prices, and promoting long-term trade relations, developing healthy beauty products.
Safeguard the sector to cope with the complexity of the supply chain
Ensuring traceability from the origin of ingredients to the finished product, controlling quality throughout the production chain, and guaranteeing transparency in order to strengthen the bond of trust with your suppliers, customers and consumers.
Ecocert, the commitment to a more responsible cosmetics industry
Convinced that the impact that cosmetics have on health and the environment could be significantly improved, we have contributed since 2002 to the development of a more responsible cosmetics industry. In partnership with pioneering players in the sector, we have created the first standard for natural and organic cosmetics, then followed by the international COSMOS standard.
