What are the differences between organic cosmetics and natural cosmetics?

map

Generally speaking, a natural cosmetic is one that contains at least 95% natural ingredients.


Organic cosmetics are subject to stricter standards than natural cosmetics and must contain ingredients grown in accordance with organic farming practices.


An organic cosmetic is a natural cosmetic that is also required to contain a certain percentage of ingredients derived from organic farming.
The remaining 5% consists of specific chemicals considered safe, such as emulsifiers, solvents, preservatives, surfactants, or thickeners.
Organic cosmetics must meet strict standards and ensure impeccable traceability and transparency.
Some certification bodies have stricter requirements than others: COSMEBIO, ECOCERT, etc.


In Europe, to ensure greater transparency between cosmetic brands and consumers, the INCI (International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients)—that is, the complete list of ingredients in descending order of quantity—must be included on the packaging.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            The names of chemical compounds are listed in English, and the names of plant extracts are in Latin.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                To help you make sense of the INCI list, visithttps://laveritesurlescosmetiques.com/, which lists all INCI names and their meanings. This will allow you to check the percentage of naturally derived ingredients.
