Cosmetics products / animal care products

We are an independent competent certification body, qualified to award the European Ecolabel, the EKO Certified Natural Cosmetic and the EKO mark.

Certified cosmetics obtain a quality guarantee that they meet the stringent requirements of specific national, EU and international standards.

This is a reliable confirmation by an independent body that certified cosmetics show good quality and environmental properties.

This is also a promotion of the use of natural ingredients and alternatives in the line with a sustainable approach.

Based on a successful certification process, our customers receive a certificate and the right to label certified products with the EU Ecolabel, EKO Certified Natural Cosmetic and EKO mark.

The EU Ecolabel is an EU product certification program recognized throughout the European Economic Area, which is awarded on the basis of criteria published by the European Commission in the form of a Commission Decision. It can be applied to, among others:

– rinse-off cosmetic products,

– leave-on cosmetic products

– rinse-off animal care products.

The EKO Certified Natural Cosmetic mark may be awarded to cosmetic products covered by Regulation (EC) No. 1223/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council, which consist of more than 90% natural ingredients or natural origin.

The EKO mark, on the other hand, may be awarded to:

– ecological (organic) cosmetic products covered by the scope of Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council that do not meet the definition of natural cosmetics,

– animal care products which are not covered by the scope of Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council and which contain at least 50% natural ingredients and/or ingredients of natural origin.

This product group does not include products whose primary function is to act as disinfectants or antibacterial agents, including anti-dandruff products.

Conformity certification is confirmation by an independent ‘third party’ that a certified cosmetic product meets the requirements of the documents on which the certification is based.
