What Are COSMOS Natural and COSMOS Organic Certifications?

COSMOS Natural and COSMOS Organic are certification standards for natural and organic cosmetics. They ensure product quality, sustainability, and safety. Here's what each certification means:

  • COSMOS Natural certifies that the product is made from natural ingredients. Key criteria include:

    • Natural origin: Ingredients must be derived from natural sources such as plants, minerals, or other naturally occurring substances.

    • Processing methods: Only limited processes are allowed, including physical methods (e.g., drying, cold pressing) and simple chemical processes (e.g., hydrolysis).

    • Environmental responsibility: Emphasizes eco-friendly practices throughout the product lifecycle, including biodegradability and sustainable sourcing.

    • Packaging: Prioritizes recyclable and environmentally friendly packaging materials.

  • COSMOS Organic includes all COSMOS Natural standards, plus additional criteria:

    • Organic content: At least 95% of agriculturally derived ingredients must be organically produced. In total, at least 20% of the product must be organic (10% for rinse-off products).

    • Certified ingredients: All ingredients must meet recognized organic farming standards.

    • Production integrity: Strict guidelines must be followed during manufacturing, processing, and storage to maintain ingredient purity.

    • No GMOs: The use of genetically modified organisms is prohibited.

Both certifications require adherence to strict safety, efficacy, and transparency standards, ensuring consumers receive trustworthy, high-quality products. Certified items display the "COSMOS Natural" or "COSMOS Organic" label beneath the certifying body’s logo.

Do the Products Contain Alcohol?

Not all alcohols are harmful to the skin—and every ingredient in Organigal products is carefully assessed for safety. Most products may contain alcohol traces, as plant extracts (excluding oils) are commonly produced using alcohol-based methods. Even if alcohol isn’t listed in the INCI, we cannot claim a product is 100% alcohol-free.

Are the Fragrances Natural?

Yes—all fragrances used in our products are 100% natural and vegan. They are carefully blended from botanical aromatic compounds and contain no synthetic fragrances, phthalates, or synthetic preservatives.

Do the Products Contain Palm Oil or Derivatives?

We do not use palm oil as a standalone ingredient. However, derivatives (like palmitic acid) may be present in small quantities as components of other ingredients. All palm-derived materials are RSPO-certified, ensuring sustainable sourcing.

How Are Organigal Products Tested?

We prioritize quality and safety at every step:

  • Formulation process: We consult with ingredient suppliers and test hundreds of samples to achieve optimal results.

  • Cruelty-free testing: Our products are never tested on animals. Instead, they are evaluated by volunteers who share skin reactions and experiences to help us refine each formula.

  • Lab testing: Each product undergoes lab tests for physical and chemical stability, safety, and shelf life. Independent labs also verify that preservatives perform reliably over time.

  • Batch consistency: Every production batch is reviewed to ensure it matches lab-approved standards.

Organigal offers skincare and makeup that are both effective and skin-conscious. Here’s what sets us apart:

  • Active botanical ingredients: Our formulas are powered by wildflowers and herbs from Baltic meadows and forests.

  • Unique growing cycle: The short Baltic summers create highly concentrated, resilient plants—rich in nutrients at harvest.

  • Nature-meets-science philosophy: We combine natural actives with scientific innovation to deliver real results.

  • Certification: Most products are COSMOS-certified by ECOCERT Greenlife for natural and organic quality.

What Is the Shelf Life of Organigal Products?

  • Unopened shelf life: Most products last up to 2 years from the production date. You can expect a minimum of 6 months of shelf life upon delivery.

  • After opening: Products typically remain usable for 3–24 months. Always check the expiration date printed on the packaging.

How Should I Store Natural and Organic Skincare?

Proper storage helps preserve product quality and performance:

  • Temperature: Store in a cool, dry place (10–20°C / 50–68°F). Avoid extreme heat or cold.

  • Consider refrigeration in hot climates (check label for guidance)

Do Organigal Products Contain Allergens?

Some natural ingredients may contain allergens. Common allergens found in our products include: Limonene, Linalool, Citral, Citronellol, Geraniol, and Eugenol.
