Every aspect, including ingredients, manufacturing facilities, and packaging materials, undergoes a thorough review, approval, and auditing process by Etko/COSMOS.

COSMOS Organic certification ensures the following commitments: conscientious utilization of natural resources, preservation of biodiversity, absence of GMOs, petrochemicals, artificial colors, and artificial fragrances, employment of recyclable packaging, and adherence to cruelty-free practices.

COSMOS organic standards mandate a thorough assessment of each ingredient to guarantee ethical and sustainable sourcing from natural/organic origins.

This includes inspecting farm fields and processing facilities, maintaining detailed records, and periodically testing soil and water to ensure compliance with the strict standards.

Moreover, the organic farming techniques employed in harvesting our ingredients contribute to a safer and more sustainable environment for everyone. Organic farming eliminates the use of synthetic pesticides and reduces nitrogen pollution, benefiting water sources, wildlife, and people. These sustainable practices result in decreased pollution, less soil erosion, and lower energy requirements.
