The objective of this Standard is not only to valorize the ingredients resulting from Organic Farming, and also require the use of ingredients coming from agro-resources rather than those that come from petrochemistry in a way to ensure the most the respect of the environment. We currently certify more than 200 companies over the world, which means more than 3500 certified products. The European Market for Natural & Organic Cosmetics has risen of 30% on 2006. ECOCERT proposes 2 different labels: Natural Label: 5% minimum of Organic Certified ingredients on the total of ingredients, which represents 50% of vegetable ingredient Natural & Organic Label: 10% minimum of Organic Certified ingredients on the total of ingredients, which represents 95% of vegetable ingredients For the two labels : > 95% ingredients of natural origin BIO: Since 2002, Valerie Lemaire is the Natural and Organic Cosmetics Certification Service Manager - ECOCERT, which is responsible for elaboration of the Standard for Natural and Organic Cosmetics; this Standard has been registered upon the French Ministry of Industry in 2003.
