A sunscreen with a natural or COSMOS/ECOCERT objective must be planned from the brief: filters, raw materials, process, packaging, documentation and claims must align with both the standard and applicable regulation.
Natural, organic and certified are not synonyms
Natural, COSMOS NATURAL and COSMOS ORGANIC follow different criteria. The intended certification category should be defined before selecting ingredients or communicating percentages.
Filters and system feasibility
The certification objective affects which filters and raw materials can be used. Protection is not presumed from origin: the final product must comply with regulation and pass applicable tests.
Raw materials and traceability
Each ingredient needs suitable documentation on composition, origin and acceptance under the standard. A supplier change can require conformity to be reviewed.
Packaging and environmental criteria
Container, label and carton should be reviewed against project and certification requirements. Technical compatibility with the formula remains essential.
Responsible claims
Natural, organic, mineral, biodegradable and environmental statements are not interchangeable. Final communication must match the scope actually certified.
Recommended development route
- Define COSMOS NATURAL, COSMOS ORGANIC or another objective.
- Preselect compatible filters and ingredients.
- Review suppliers and documentation.
- Develop and validate formula and packaging.
- Coordinate SPF/UVA and safety testing.
- Finalise certification, labelling and claims before manufacturing.
Frequently asked questions
Does ECOCERT manufacture or test the sunscreen?
No. The certification body assesses compliance with the standard; protection and safety tests follow their own route.
Is mineral sunscreen automatically ECOCERT?
No. The full formula, raw materials, process, packaging, documentation and applicable criteria must be assessed.
Can OKT GLOBAL manufacture COSMOS projects?
OKT GLOBAL can develop and manufacture projects targeting COSMOS/ECOCERT, subject to technical review and the agreed certification scope.
