ECOCERT Cosmetics: COSMOS Organic Certification For Ethical Skincare
Certifications such as ECOCERT COSMOS Organic or Natural highlight transparent practices and high quality ingredients. In this article, we explore the COSMOS standard, ECOCERT Organic certification, and highlight Beauty Nina products that carry these trusted labels.
What is ECOCERT?
ECOCERT, founded in France, is the world’s leading organic certification organization. For over 30 years, it has promoted sustainable practices through certification, beginning with organic farming and expanding to cosmetics and skincare. ECOCERT ensures production processes respect the environment while maintaining high standards of product quality and safety.
One of ECOCERT’s key programs is COSMOS certification, which promotes environmentally and socially responsible practices. Applied to natural skincare brands, it guarantees:
Environmentally friendly production and processing
Responsible use of natural resources
Respect for biodiversity
No petrochemical ingredients – parabens, phenoxyethanol, synthetic fragrances, or colorants
GMO-free formulations
Recyclable packaging
All Beauty Nina skincare products are ECOCERT certified, verified from composition to processing and packaging. Products are categorized into Natural and Organic.
COSMOS Natural
To get the COSMOS Natural label, a product’s ingredients must be primarily of natural origin, with only a small list of approved exceptions such as certain preservatives. On average, ECOCERT-certified products contain 99% natural ingredients. Most Beauty Nina face, hair, and body care products are Natural certified.
Face care: All categories carry Natural certification, from cleansing (Clarifying Gel, Purifying Mousse) to toning (Hydrating Toner, Purifying Toner). Goal-specific treatments like Hydrating Serum, Calming Eye Cream, Smoothing Eye Cream, Brightening Eye Cream, Caffeine Gel Booster, and Antioxidant Ginkgo Gel Booster are fully natural. Moisturisers include Moisturising Day Cream, Light Moisturising Day Cream, Anti-Age Day Cream, Nourishing Rich Cream, and Oil-Free Hydrating Gel. Sunscreen SPF30 and BB Cream complete the natural skincare ritual.
Hair care: Moisturising Shampoo, Nourish & Volumise Shampoo, and Moisturising Conditioner are Natural certified.
Body care: Moisturising Body Lotion, Hydrating Body Wash, Hydrating Hand Cream, and all Hand & Body Wash products carry the Natural label.

COSMOS Organic
A skincare product earns COSMOS Organic certification only if at least 95% of its plant ingredients are organic and a minimum of 20% of the total formula is organic (10% for rinse-off products). Water and minerals are not counted as organic since they are not agricultural ingredients.
Currently, four Beauty Nina products are Organic certified:
Gentle Cleansing Milk
Micellar Cleansing Water
Nourishing Facial Oil
CBD Oil Booster
These products form a compact, organic-focused face care line. ECOCERT COSMOS Organic certification reflects a commitment to skin friendly, environmentally conscious production. With Beauty Nina, you can trust in sustainable, high quality skincare.
