The Bio-Organic certification for organic cosmetics relating to the BIOAGRICOOP standard is issued by the Bioagricert certification body.
The products certified by Bioagricert for organic cosmetics meet the specific standards imposed for the production of natural organic cosmetics, containing the majority of natural or naturally-derived ingredients.
By “natural” ingredients we mean substances obtained from natural raw materials such as cultivated or wild-harvested plant products and minerals, manipulated only with physical processes (drying, mixing, maceration, etc.).
By “natural origin” ingredients we mean substances always obtained from natural raw materials, as reported above, which however can undergo, in addition to physical processes, some permitted chemical processes. In the case of “organic” cosmetics, natural ingredients must also be certified as organic production.
