COSMOS-Standard
The COSMOS-standard was developed by the five foremost organic and natural cosmetics standards organisations in Europe (BDIH, Cosmebio, Ecocert, ICEA, Soil Association). The aim was to create a single, world-wide, harmonised standard to reflect and to serve the international nature of both the cosmetics industry and the market. It is a dynamic standard that will continue to move in the direction of better environmental sustainability and more organic ingredients as conditions allow. The standard has been placed in the hands of the international non-profit association, COSMOS-standard AISBL. Membership and certification are open to all - please see www.cosmos-standard.org.
IBD commenced life in Brazil in the1980s, became IFOAM Accredited in 1995 and in 1999 ISO 65/CEE 2092/91. In 2002 IBD got also NOP Accredited by the USDA.
The main purpose of IBD is to participate in the development of organic, biodynamic and socially correct agriculture, processing, trading and its markets, through certification.
Today IBD certifies 850 with together 5000 small farmers, individual farms, industries and traders in three continents (America, Asia and Europe).

100% VEGAN, 100% BERLIN: For more than 30 years i+m has created in Berlin highly effective certified cosmetics from natural plant derived ingredients. To i+m formidable products are equally important as ecological and social responsibility. For instance, fair trade improves suppliers’ living conditions and conserves their traditional way of farming and harvesting. The smart i+m packaging is inspired by Cradle-to-Cradle and conceives reducing the linear material flows. The mono-packaging is high-grade recyclable. Sustainability has a long tradition at i+m: Polluting extra packaging has always been avoided.
Savon du Midi –Soaps from France
For more than 25 years our soaps have been produced in Provence, France, resulting in a long-term business relationship with our manufacturers. It is important to us that additions to our assortment can be made while ensuring the distinct character of French plant oil soaps.
For the production of the raw soap, only plant oils from controlled biological cultivation (kbA) are used during the saponification. These classic soap pieces are an integral part of the natural cosmetics assortment from health food stores to drugstores.
