How to choose a green facial?

We need to define the level of our requirements, and decide where to 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 help you make an informed choice, we offer you a zoom on the different "levels" of green products:

Green or natural brands

Natural and green are synonyms. They are used to describe brands that have chosen to use natural ingredients, i.e. ingredients that come from or are extracted from nature (plant or mineral). However, these brands have not opted for organic certification. Why not? Some brands don't see any real added value, while others would like to have more choice, particularly in terms of their preservation system, to increase the tolerance of their formulas (organic cosmetics are mainly preserved by adding a little alcohol or essential oils, but this solution is not always suitable for the most fragile epidermis).

Certified organic brands

Organic cosmetics have been certified by an organization that validates the presence of a certain percentage oforganically grown ingredients in the 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... From January 1, 2017, all organic cosmetics must now carry the "Cosmos organic" label, a new mandatory label for organic skincare products sold in Europe. Initiated by the 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 identical guarantees to consumers from one country to another. In the United States, which is not covered by the new label, there are three categories of organic products: "100% organic", "Organic" and "Made with certified organic ingredients", each with different compositional guarantees.

Cruelty Free certified brands

Cosmetics bearing the "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'll find a little logo called "Leaping Bunny" affixed to the packaging.

Certified Vegan brands

These brands have chosen not to useingredients of animal origin in their composition. This means no beehive by-products (beeswax, pollen, honey or royal jelly), no fats derived from animal fats (fortunately increasingly rare in the cosmetics industry), and no ingredients derived from animal milk or eggs.
