Organic Cosmetics
The plant argument has become essential in cosmetics today. But given all the new claims of natural ingredients, it is increasingly hard to be sure what is going on. That is why BcomBIO has adopted the Cosmébio standards for greater transparency for consumers. The Cosmébio charter guarantees: controls on the ingredients, their purity and their traceability, controls on the application of environmental protection measures, and controls on packaging and labelling.

BcomBIO, cosmetics certified by an independent organisation: Ecocert:
Ecocert Ecocert is a control and certification firm approved by the public authorities which issues Eco and Bio labels and which has defined the charter requested by the Cosmébio association concerning ecological and organic cosmetics.
BcomBIO, guaranteed safer cosmetics :
At least 95% of the ingredients are natural or of plant origin, without colorants or synthetic perfumes.
Bio label To obtain the BIO label, at least 95% of the plant ingredients must be certified organic.
ecolabel To obtain the ECO label, at least 50% of the plant ingredients must be certified organic.

We use only 100% natural perfumes; the formulas are guaranteed to be without colorants, parabens, phenoxyethanol or GMOs.

BcomBIO, guaranteed more effective cosmetics :
A large share of the ingredients in traditional cosmetics are only there for colouring, perfuming or changing the texture... In organic cosmetics, all ingredients used have a beneficial action for your skin.

Cosmetics, whether organic or not, have the following composition:

  • active ingredients, which are the substances that make the product effective.
  • excipients, whose role is to give a "texture" to the product and to help distribute the active ingredients to your skin.
  • additives, which include a varied family of preservatives, perfumes and colorants.

But the proportion of each of these components can vary widely.
