Why choose organic cosmetics?

Cosmetic laboratories committed to complying with certification standards develop premium quality cosmetics providing all the benefits of the organic ingredients they contain. The BIO and ECO logos give indication on product composition, i.e. total amount of ingredients in the formula water included.

Dans la cosmétique conventionnelle, il est couramment fait usage d’ingrédients d’origine synthétique et pétrochimique et parfois d’origine animale. La démarche initiée par Cosmébio postule qu’il est difficile d’évaluer à long terme les effets de ces produits sur la peau ou de mesurer l’incidence écologique des procédés d’obtention de ces même actifs ou excipient et qu’a contrario, de par l’absence de contaminants et de par leurs modalités douces de production, les produits biologiques sont une garantie du respect et de l’Homme et de son environnement. En excluant de plus les procédés synthétiques réputés polluants ou risqués, le cahier des charges de la cosmétique bio écarte les matières premières les plus controversées.

What are the benefits of organic products?

Organic products are safe

Besides banning raw materials likely to include chemical or polluting ingredients (pesticides, chemical fertilizers, GMOs...) which may, in the long term, prove to be harmful for our health and the environment, organic cosmetics which comply with ecological and organic reference guidelines are rich in natural active ingredients and are gentle to the skin.

Traceability :

It is often difficult to verify the exact composition of standard cosmetics or identify the source and percentage of raw materials in their composition. Organic cosmetics are currently verified and certified by independent bodies such as Ecocert and Qualité France in order to guarantee end-to-end traceability of ingredients, manufacturing processes and finished products.

Organic products help preserve the environment

Organic farming preserves biodiversity and the natural balance of the ecosystem. By supporting organic farming through your choices as a consumer you are contributing to protect and promote healthy water, soil and air.

Organic products offer a diversity of choice

Nature holds a wide range of ingredients. Each ingredient, be it plant or mineral-derived, has individual properties. This natural diversity means it is possible to develop a wide range of effective, natural and healthy cosmetics.
