Organic September & Beyond: What COSMOS Organic & Natural Skincare Really Means

In a world full of skincare buzzwords like “natural,” “clean,” and “green,” how can you tell what truly lives up to the promise?

At Beyond Organic Skincare, we don’t believe in vague labels — we believe in proof. That’s why every one of our products is either COSMOS Organic or COSMOS Natural certified two of the highest global standards in natural and organic beauty.

This Organic September, we are here to help you understand what those certifications really mean, why they matter, and how our in-house macerations of the finest organic herbs make our skincare not just clean but truly beyond organic.

🌿 What Is Organic September?

Organic September is a month-long campaign that raises awareness about the importance of organic products — not just in food, but across all areas of life, including skincare.

Consumers are becoming more conscious of what they put on their skin. But many don’t realize that terms like “organic” or “natural” on skincare labels are not legally regulated  unless backed by a third-party certification.

That’s where COSMOS certification comes in.

🧪 What Is COSMOS Certification?

COSMOS stands for COSMetic Organic and Natural Standard — a globally recognised certification developed by leading European organic organisations including the Soil Association (UK), ECOCERT (France), and BDIH (Germany).

When you see COSMOS Organic or COSMOS Natural on a skincare product, it means the product has met strict criteria for safety, sustainability, and ingredient integrity.

It’s not just about what’s in your skincare but also what’s not.

✅ COSMOS Organic vs. COSMOS Natural: What’s the Difference?

We proudly carry both certifications across our product range at Beyond Organic Skincare. Here’s how they compare:

💚 COSMOS Organic Certified Skincare

• At least 95% of the plant-based ingredients are certified organic

• Minimum 20% of the total formula (including water) must be organic (10% for rinse-off)

• No synthetic chemicals, no parabens, no artificial fragrance, no GMOs

• Ingredients must be sustainably sourced, ethically produced, and fully traceable

You’ll find this on our most potent plant-based skincare products, where organic herbs, oils, and botanical extracts take centre stage.

🌱 COSMOS Natural Certified Skincare

• Made with 100% naturally sourced ingredients

• No requirement for organic content 

• Free from harmful synthetics and undergoes the same strict approval process

• Fully transparent, sustainable, and skin-safe

This certification is perfect for products where natural integrity still matters — and it still carries the COSMOS trust.

💡 Why Certifications Matter (And Why Many Brands Skip Them)

Many brands use the words “natural” or “organic” on their packaging without any legal accountability. But when you choose certified skincare, you're choosing honesty, transparency, and proven quality.

🌼 Our Signature: In-House Organic Herb Macerations

What sets Beyond Organic Skincare apart is our dedication to creating our own in-house macerations — a slow and traditional method of extracting the powerful active compounds from the finest certified organic herbs.

• Herbs are carefully hand-selected for their skin-benefiting properties

• They are gently infused over months to years to preserve and release their natural actives

• This process results in highly potent, nutrient-rich botanical extracts that form the heart of our formulas

We do not outsource this process we do it ourselves, so we can ensure the highest quality and maximum effectiveness for your skin.

This is clean beauty with real craftsmanship and results you can see and feel.
