Setting the standard for organic and natural cosmetics

Developed by the leading associations and certifiers

Organic and natural certification for cosmetics

The COSMOS signature is a consumer guarantee for organic and natural cosmetics that you can trust. To date over 35,000 products in 78 countries carry our COSMOS ORGANIC or COSMOS NATURAL signature. Over 13,400 raw materials carry our COSMOS CERTIFIED signature. Over 10,000 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.
