Ecocert: Nature’s Seal of Eco-Beauty Approval (Bijou Series)

Ecocert is a certification body that provides organic and ecological certifications for various products, including beauty and personal care products. It is one of the most recognized and respected organic certification organizations globally. When a product bears the Ecocert label, it indicates that the product meets specific standards and criteria set by Ecocert. 

For beauty products, Ecocert certification typically focuses on the following aspects:

 

1. Organic Ingredients: The certification ensures that the beauty product contains a high percentage of natural and organic ingredients. The specific percentage of organic content required may vary depending on the type of product.
2. Environmentally Friendly Manufacturing: Ecocert-certified beauty products are manufactured using environmentally friendly processes that minimize environmental impact and promote sustainable practices.
3. No Harmful Chemicals: The certification prohibits the use of certain harmful chemicals, such as parabens, phthalates, synthetic fragrances, and GMOs (genetically modified organisms).
4. Respect for Biodiversity: Ecocert-certified products are expected to respect biodiversity and promote the sustainable use of natural resources.
5. Animal Welfare: The certification ensures that the beauty products are not tested on animals and do not contain animal-derived ingredients, except those obtained without harm to the animals (e.g., beeswax).
6. Packaging: Ecocert encourages environmentally friendly packaging such as recyclable materials and minimizing excessive packaging

Brands and products that have obtained Ecocert certification often display the Ecocert logo or label on their packaging to showcase their commitment to organic and environmentally friendly practices. Consumers looking for organic and eco-friendly beauty products can look for this certification to make more informed and sustainable choices.
