Cosmos Bio: For environmentally friendly cosmetics

When people say that organic and natural cosmetics respect the environment, it goes far beyond a simple statement. Indeed, their composition and manufacture respect specifications with requirements that brands like Endro Cosmétiques cannot deviate from. Among the quality labels is Cosmos Organic. A certification that ensures the integrity of the entire process, from harvesting the ingredients for each pot of cream to packaging each treatment.

Cosmos: A standard, a guarantee of quality

Created in 2002, Cosmébio is an association that frames the organic cosmetics market. It also supports professionals in the field; among these professionals is Endro Cosmétiques, a French brand of organic cosmetic products based in Brittany.

Organic cosmetics, a now regulated field

There was a time when there was no particular regulation governing organic and natural cosmetics. Aware of the market's evolution, the association and the organic cosmetic label decided to take matters into their own hands. In other words, the goal was to create a benchmark for consumers, notably through a logo they could identify and recognize more easily.

Organic products and the label's guarantees

The guarantees of the Cosmébio label are defined in a set of specifications. This document outlines all the conditions inherent in obtaining certification. 15 years ago, Cosmébio used national specifications. Today, the label now uses the COSMOS standard. This standard is usable internationally and contains more requirements to ensure impeccable quality for organic products.

Cosmébio, for organic and natural cosmetics

For consumers, identifying the Cosmébio label on Endro Cosmétiques' cosmetics reassures them most naturally. The label is above all a charter of ethical values, concerned with protecting consumers, but also with respecting the environment. To obtain certification, independent certifiers review all points mentioned in the international standard. Controls are annual to ensure the conformity of products to the Cosmos standard.

Organic, non-polluting, recyclable cosmetics

Traditional cosmetics contain several active ingredients, most of which are chemical. However, when you rinse off, these components go directly into the pipes and inevitably flow into rivers that then empty into the ocean. Hence the inexorable pollution caused by their use, even though consumers certainly don't intend it.

Cosmos organic certified cosmetic products, like those from Endro Cosmétiques, are designed not to pollute and to be recyclable, including their packaging. These are called organic rinse-off cosmetics because their active ingredients are natural, gentle on the body, skin and face. So much so that even if they end up in the water, they do not pollute.

The quality label also requires that packaging be recyclable. And Endro Cosmétiques respects these standards to the letter. Keeping nature alive by reducing the impact of our products begins in our workshop, down to the slightest effort to satisfy our consumers and preserve the environment.

Endro Cosmétiques: Respectful of nature

When Endro Cosmétiques addresses the issue of environmental protection, the Breton tricolor brand for beauty also refers to that of animals. Both fauna and flora are precious for maintaining a healthy environment for future generations.

Animal-friendly care products

Endro Cosmétiques' organic care products are free from ingredients of animal origin. The same applies to the packaging. Furthermore, Endro beauty care products are in no way tested on animals. Indeed, animals are an integral part of the environment that we protect. Respecting them helps preserve the planet and its heritage.

Ingredients from sustainable agriculture

Endro Cosmétiques actively participates in promoting sustainable agriculture. Through this ideal of serving the planet, the brand sources its components from organic farming.

The production process, as well as the transformation process, are respectful of the environment.

Our customers know that our deodorants, like our organic toothpastes, are packaged in recyclable glass jars. We also provide biodegradable accessories such as wooden spatulas, toothbrushes, and hair brushes made from natural materials. Our selection of beauty care also includes lip balms and gels that not only maintain beauty but also help deeply nourish the skin.

Eco-responsible formulas and packaging

Cosmos Organic pushes the challenge further by requiring organic and natural brands to develop care products rich in organic ingredients.

Indeed, certified brands like Endro Cosmétiques receive certification based on several requirements. As such, the Cosmos standard requires a minimum of:

• 20% organic ingredients.
• 95% natural ingredients.
• 95% of plant components must be organic.

In addition, organic cosmetics like Endro's must not contain any trace of:

• Silicone.
• Phthalates.
• Parabens.
• GMOs.
• Synthetic colorants and fragrances.
• Etc.

The list is long... To always satisfy our consumers, we mention every detail of the formula on the label. In this regard, we strive for total transparency with our users, particularly regarding the presence of essential oils in certain deodorants, for example.

Regarding our packaging, it is undeniably responsible. Indeed, certifiers scrupulously ensure that the packaging also complies with the specifications, more precisely, the Cosmos standard. At Endro, for example, glass jars contain our balm deodorants. Our soaps, for their part, are delivered in recyclable cardboard packaging, truly eco-responsible materials that remain in the spotlight for the good of the planet.
