Another certification to look for is ECOCERT Cosmos Organic. A beauty care product is COSMOS ORGANIC certified only if 95% minimum of the plants it contains are organic and at least 20% of organic ingredients are present in the total formula (10% for rinse-off products)
It’s also important to note that official third party certifications cost time and money that a lot of small business owners don’t have.
So if you’re shopping for organic shampoo or conditioner bars at you local farmers market be mindful that smaller brands might not be able to go through this intense certification process, but they might still be using organic ingredients.
It’s okay to ask about their ingredient list and supply chain. Hair care brands that are using sustainable ingredients will be excited to tell you about them and happy you asked.
