Organic and natural certification for cosmetics.

The COSMOS-standard signature is a consumer guarantee for organic and natural cosmetics that you can trust. To date over 32,000 products in 71 countries carry our COSMOS ORGANIC or COSMOS NATURAL signature. Over 13,000 raw materials carry our COSMOS CERTIFIED signature. Over 8,000 raw materials carry our COSMOS APPROVED signature.

The COSMOS-standard defines the criteria that companies must meet to ensure consumers that their products are genuine organic or natural cosmetics produced to the highest feasible sustainability practices.

  • The COSMOS ORGANIC signature is available for products that comply with the COSMOS-standard in all respects and contain the required percentages of organic ingredients as specified in the COSMOS-standard.

  • The COSMOS NATURAL signature is available for products that comply with the COSMOS-standard in all respects but do not meet the required minimum organic percentages as specified in the COSMOS-standard.
