What Is ECOCERT?

ECOCERT is the world's leading certification body for organic and natural cosmetics. Operating in over 130 countries, ECOCERT created the first standard for natural and organic cosmetics in 2002 and helped develop the COSMOS framework, now the most rigorous international benchmark in the industry.

ECOCERT certification is independent third-party verification, not a self-declared marketing label. When you see the ECOCERT mark on an Arneux product, it means the formula, sourcing, processing, and packaging have all been audited.


Manufacturing Standards

Every Arneux product is manufactured in a facility certified to ISO 22716, the international standard for Good Manufacturing Practices in cosmetics. The facility is also a Certified B Corporation, meeting independently verified standards for social and environmental performance. All products are registered in the EU Cosmetic Products Notification Portal (CPNP) and comply with both EU Regulation 1223/2009 and US FDA cosmetic regulations.

COSMOS ORGANIC

COSMOS ORGANIC goes beyond natural. At least 95% of plant-based ingredients must be organically produced. The total formula must contain a minimum of 20% organic ingredients (10% for rinse-off). Strict guidelines protect organic integrity from field to formula.

Our full baby line carries this certification, along with select skin, hair, and body products including REST Overnight Cream (42% organic), ROOT Hair Oil (69% organic), NOURISH Body Oil (86% organic—the highest in our range), and BARE Micellar Cleansing Water.

COSMOS NATURAL

COSMOS NATURAL certifies that ingredients come from natural sources—plants, minerals, and natural substances. Processing methods are limited to those that preserve the natural state. Environmental considerations span the full product lifecycle, from sustainable sourcing to biodegradable formulas to recyclable packaging.

Every Arneux skin, hair, body, and makeup product carries COSMOS NATURAL certification. Natural origin across these formulas ranges from 98% to 100%.

A Higher Standard Than Required

The European Union's Cosmetics Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 bans over 2,500 substances from personal care products. The United States, by comparison, bans just 11. Every Arneux product is formulated in the EU under this stricter regulatory framework.

But we don't stop at compliance. Every Arneux formula voluntarily undergoes ECOCERT certification under the COSMOS standard—an additional layer of scrutiny beyond what any government requires. From ingredient sourcing to processing methods to packaging, our products are held to the highest independent benchmark in the industry.
