In a world where consumers are increasingly attentive to the composition of the cosmetic products they use, organic labels play a key role in guaranteeing transparency and safety. The COSMOS Organic label is now an essential benchmark in the world of natural and organic cosmetics. At Born to Bio, this certification embodies much more than a simple designation: it reflects a genuine commitment to beauty that respects both skin and the planet.
What is the COSMOS Organic label?
COSMOS (COSMetic Organic Standard) is a unified European standard that governs the manufacture of natural and organic cosmetics. It was created by five major certification bodies: Ecocert (France), Cosmebio (France), BDIH (Germany), ICEA (Italy), and the Soil Association (United Kingdom). Together, they established a demanding and internationally harmonized set of specifications.
The COSMOS Organic label guarantees that:
- At least 95% of the plant-based ingredients are organically grown.
- At least 20% of the total ingredients are organic for leave-on products (10% for rinse-off products such as shower gels).
- The transformation processes comply with the principles of green chemistry.
- Petrochemical ingredients are limited to less than 2% and strictly regulated.
- Packaging must be recyclable and environmental impact must be reduced as much as possible.
This standard also takes into account the origin of raw materials, their biodegradability, water and energy management in manufacturing processes, as well as working conditions in the production chain.
Why did Born to Bio choose this certification?
Since its inception, Born to Bio has developed personal care and hygiene products with a focus on respecting both people and the environment. Adopting COSMOS Organic certification was therefore a natural step. This label allows the brand to concretely demonstrate the quality of its formulas, while reassuring consumers about the absence of controversial or petrochemical-derived ingredients.
Born to Bio products are formulated with carefully selected, naturally derived ingredients. Plant oils, floral waters, plant extracts, nourishing butters... Each component is chosen for its gentleness, effectiveness, and traceability. By complying with COSMOS Organic standards, the brand guarantees that its skincare products are as healthy for the skin as they are for the planet.
Concrete examples in Born to Bio products
Take, for example, the certified organic facial cleansing foam. It is composed of 99.3% naturally derived ingredients, of which more than 20% are organically grown. It contains soothing cornflower floral water, hydrating aloe vera, and gentle, plant-based surfactants. The formula is sulfate-free, paraben-free, and silicone-free, and fully complies with COSMOS Organic standards.
Another example: Born to Bio shower gels, with their natural fragrances and sensorial textures. They are COSMOS Organic certified and contain organic extracts (lemon, verbena, blackcurrant, citrus fruits, etc.) combined with an ultra-gentle cleansing base. Thanks to this certification, consumers can wash with complete confidence, without being exposed to harmful ingredients.
Transparency in the service of the consumer
One of the major advantages of the COSMOS Organic label is its commitment to complete transparency. On every certified Born to Bio product, the percentage of natural and organic ingredients is clearly displayed. This clarity is invaluable for customers who want to consume more responsibly.
Furthermore, each certified product is inspected annually by an independent body (such as Ecocert or Cosmecert). This means that the composition, manufacturing processes, and packaging are rigorously checked year after year. This is a guarantee of reliability and long-term commitment.
A comprehensive and coherent approach
Born to Bio doesn't just offer a few certified products. The brand applies this requirement to all of its ranges: facial care, shower gels, deodorants, hair care... This ensures strong consistency, both in the products offered and in the values conveyed.
In addition to COSMOS Organic certification, Born to Bio is also committed to other aspects:
- All products are made in France, in the Vichy basin.
- The packaging is mostly recyclable and optimized to limit environmental impact.
- The formulas are vegan and not tested on animals.
- The perfumes are 100% natural in origin.
Why trust a label like COSMOS?
Today, the term "organic" is widely used, sometimes incorrectly. Some products claim to be "natural" or "green" without any certification to prove it. This is where reputable labels like COSMOS Organic make all the difference. They allow you to distinguish genuinely committed brands from those simply riding the trend.
COSMOS is recognized in over 80 countries and adopted by more than 30,000 products worldwide. It is a strict standard, regularly updated, and applied consistently by independent testing bodies. For consumers, it is therefore a reliable benchmark, allowing them to buy with confidence.
