The criteria of organic cosmetics are binding, for a good cause.

The first reflex to have: look for the Cosmébio label on the packaging of your hygiene and care products! Cosmetics that do not display this label are self-determined as being natural, without any control by an approved certification body.

Organic cosmetics must meet many additional criteria compared to conventional cosmetics: the number of authorized and validated ingredients in organic cosmetics is limited (for example synthetic perfumes, very covering on the formulas, are prohibited, most chemical preservatives are excluded), organic percentages on finished products must be respected, the production method limits environmental pollution … Important constraints, but which are amply justified for who cares about the health of women … and the planet.
Remember these main key figures. Cosmetics labelled Cosmebio must comply with:

95% minimum of ingredients of natural origin on the total of the ingredients contained in the formula; 95% minimum of ingredients from organic farming among the “plant” ingredients of the formula.
