How to choose your green facial treatment?

We have to define the level of our requirements, choose where we place the cursor in our quest for naturalness. Do I prefer to go for certified organic products or do my personal convictions revolve more around animal welfare? To make your choice in an enlightened way, we propose you a zoom on the various "levels" of green products:

Green or natural brands

Natural and green are synonyms. They qualify brands that have chosen to highlight natural ingredients, i.e. from or extracted from nature (vegetable or mineral). However, these brands have not chosen to go as far as an organic certification process. Why not? Some brands do not see any real added value, others wish to have more choice; in particular on their conservation system, to increase the tolerance of their formulas (Organic cosmetics are mainly preserved thanks to the addition of a little alcohol or essential oils, but this solution is not always suitable for the most fragile skins).

Certified organic brands

The organic cosmetic has been certified by an organization validating the presence of a certain percentage ofingredients from organic farming in its formula. This percentage depends on the certifying body. Until now, each European country had its own organic label: Ecocert or Cosmebio for France, BDIH for Germany, Soil Association for England, ICEA for Italy... As of January 1, 2017, all organic cosmetic products must now carry the "Cosmos organic" label, a new mandatory label for organic skincare products sold in Europe. Initiated by European certification bodies (Cosmebio, BDIH, Ecocert, ICEA, and Soil Association), this new label aims to harmonize the various organic skincare products marketed in Europe and thus offer, from one country to another, identical guarantees to consumers. In the United States, which is not covered by this new label, there are three categories of organic products that bear the labels: "100% organic", "Organic", and "Made with certified organic ingredients", each of which offers different guarantees regarding the composition.

Certified Cruelty Free brands

Cosmetics with a "cruelty free" label do not test on animals (neither their finished products, nor the ingredients used). These cosmetics are not necessarily Vegan, but they avoid animal suffering in laboratories. To identify these "cruelty free" cosmetics, you will find a small logo called "Leaping Bunny" affixed to the packaging.

Certified Vegan brands

These brands choose not to useingredients of animal origin in their composition. They are therefore free of beehive derivatives (beeswax, pollen, honey or royal jelly), they do not use fats from animal fats (fortunately increasingly rare in the cosmetics industry), nor ingredients derived from animal milk or eggs.
