We've all heard the term "organic cosmetic," but what does it really mean? Is it the same as "natural"? What are the criteria? And how can we be sure that a product is truly clean, pure, and free of harmful ingredients?
In this article, we clarify terms, reveal what applies in the EU, and show you how to recognize truly certified organic cosmetics .
🌱 What does "organic" mean in cosmetology?
The term “organic” is not just marketing. For a cosmetic to be considered organic:
-
At least 95% of its plant ingredients must come from certified organic farming .
-
It must not contain GMOs, parabens, silicones, synthetic fragrances, artificial colors or petrochemicals.
-
Its production process must respect the environment and animals .
If this is not clearly stated or supported by official certification , then the term “organic” is just a word on the packaging.
🧾 Natural vs Organic: What's the difference?
| Natural cosmetic | Organic cosmetic |
|---|---|
| Contains ingredients of natural origin | Contains natural ingredients from certified organic farming |
| May contain chemicals | No toxic or GMOs allowed |
| Does not require certification | Requires a recognized body |
So: everything organic is natural, but not everything natural is organic.
How to distinguish a real organic cosmetic
Look for official certifications on the packaging or on the brand's page. For example:
-
ICADA (International Cosmetic and Device Association)
-
COSMOS / ECOCERT
-
HALAL Certification (respect for ethical production)
-
EOF + CPNP (mandatory for EU products)
