Its primary objective is to promote green chemistry principles, protect human health and the environment, and ensure consumers have access to genuine organic/natural cosmetics without falling into the "greenwashing" trap. The standard rigorously audits the entire lifecycle of a product, from raw ingredients and manufacturing processes to packaging and the final product. ## **Key Technical Criteria of COSMOS Certification** COSMOS offers two different signatures (logos) based on the product's composition and manufacturing methods. The technical framework can be summarized as follows: - **COSMOS ORGANIC:** At least **95%** of the physically processed agro-ingredients (e.g., plant oils, extracts) must be organically produced. - At least **20%** of the total product by weight (including water and minerals) must be organic. (For rinse-off products like shampoos and shower gels, as well as powders, this minimum is **10%**). - **COSMOS NATURAL:** All ingredients must comply with COSMOS rules for natural origin. - There is no minimum requirement for organic content in this category; however, if organic ingredients are used, their percentage can be indicated on the packaging. - **Prohibited Substances and Green Chemistry:** The use of nanomaterials, Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs), synthetic fragrances, synthetic dyes, and petrochemical derivatives is strictly prohibited. - Manufacturing processes must adhere to "Green Chemistry" principles, ensuring they do not pollute the environment or harm human health. Irradiation (sterilization via gamma or X-rays) of products is banned. - **Packaging and Environmental Management:** Cosmetic packaging must be made from recyclable, recycled, or biodegradable materials. The use of harmful plastics like PVC is prohibited. - Manufacturing facilities must implement a comprehensive environmental management plan focusing on wastewater management and energy conservation. ## **Why Choose COSMOS Certification with ETKO?** In the cosmetics industry, the most reliable way to prove that your product is skin-friendly and eco-friendly is by obtaining a certificate from an internationally accredited body.
