What are the requirements for organic certification?
All cosmetics are certified by Ecocert. The labels issued by these certifying bodies guarantee that the brand respect the certification criteria governing organic cosmetics:
- The products do not contain GMOs, parabens, phenoxyethanol, nanoparticles, silicone, PEG, synthetic fragrances and dyes, or ingredients coming from animals (except those produced naturally by them or cochineal).
- The products contain at least 95% ingredients of natural origin and at least 10% ingredients from organic farming. 10% may seem quite low, but you should know that cosmetics contain a large quantity of water and mineral ingredients (therefore non-agricultural). In reality, at least 95% of plant ingredients must come from biological agriculture.
- The packaging is validated by Ecocert for its lower impact on the environment
Avril is audited every year by certifying bodies to guarantee strict compliance with the specifications for organic cosmetics.
