Find out everything about our certifications and labels!

Comptoir des Huiles products have different certifications and labels which allow us to prove the impact of our production on the environment as well as on the well-being of our consumers.

COSMOS certifications by Ecocert:

COSMOS certification allows the sale of organic or natural cosmetics, ensuring compliance with several essential criteria: production and transformation processes that respect the environment and human health, encouragement of the concept of green chemistry, responsible use of natural resources, preservation of biodiversity, and exclusion of petrochemical ingredients such as parabens, phenoxyethanol, synthetic fragrances and dyes, as well as GMOs. In addition, recyclable packaging is preferred.

What are the differences between COSMOS NATURAL and COSMOS ORGANIC?

Comptoir des Huiles products are certified natural by ECOCERT according to the COSMOS standard.

For a product to be COSMOS certified, it must meet several criteria. This must not contain petrochemical ingredients, such as parabens, phenoxyethanol, synthetic fragrances and dyes, or GMOs. Production and processing processes must be respectful of the environment and human health. Products must be made with respect for biodiversity with minimal impact on ecosystems with responsible use of natural resources. Recyclable packaging is encouraged and the choice of usable materials is regulated; materials such as PVC, for example, are prohibited.

All* Comptoir des Huiles products are certified organic by ECOCERT according to the COSMOS standard.

Cosmetics labeled Organic must meet the same criteria as for COSMOS NATURAL certification, but by adding other parameters.
They must contain at least 95% ingredients from organic farming. Manufacturing processes must be regulated to exclude polluting or harmful techniques. Finally, the information on the product must be transparent, both on its packaging and on the communication around it.

In the interest of responsibility, the PhileoL group seeks to perfect and certify the Comptoir des Huiles brand as much as possible. The company has been audited and certified according to the control procedures of the Fair for Life Program, an attestation program for fair trade and responsible sectors. It was born from the desire to economically develop the poorest regions of Madagascar by promoting the natural resources present. The oilseed sector thus created is today positioned as a sustainable source of income for this population which cyclically fights against famine.

The FFL label guarantees fair practices throughout the sector: fair purchase price above the market, protection mechanism in the event of a climate or other crisis, decent working conditions which allow the strengthening of the autonomy of producers. As well as the promotion of environmentally friendly agricultural practices which encourage the transition to Organic Agriculture
