Ecocert has opened its first U.S. offices in San Francisco, CA. This is an important development and brings us a step closer to a unified, widely recognized set of organic standards for cosmetics in the U.S.
Ecocert is an environmental certification body created in France in 1991 and is recognized by government authorities in more than 80 countries. The Ecocert Standards for Natural and Organic Cosmetics were released in 2002. The main objectives of the Ecocert Standards are to define and promote a higher level of quality for cosmetics in general, to maximize the use of organic ingredients, and to ensure the optimal usage of true natural ingredients and ingredients from natural origin by setting minimum content requirements.
The Ecocert name and seal are registered trademarks worldwide, and trusted by consumers, businesses, industry, and governments. Manufacturers, distributors, brand owners, and any operator wishing to use the Ecocert name on labels and marketing material must apply to and be duly inspected and certified by Ecocert. Ecocert is the only certification body that demands the display of the real organic percentage with an explication of its calculation.
