COSMOS is a not-for profit organisation formed out of a collaboration between five major European organic and natural certification bodies BDIH - Germany, COSMEBIO - France, Ecocert Greenlife - France, ICEA - Italy, Soil Association - UK. By working together, these five independent certification bodies have created a recognisable and robust cosmetic-product focused certification that both understands and addresses the needs of the market. While the COSMOS brand was developed in Europe it has a global reach and is fast becoming one of the most recognised certification systems in the cosmetic world.
