COSMOS Organic
Certified
Every VICQUA product meets the world's most rigorous standards for organic and natural cosmetics. Not because we have to. Because your skin deserves it.
What is COSMOS?
COSMOS (COSMetic Organic Standard) is the international certification that defines true organic cosmetics. Unlike vague "natural" or "clean beauty" marketing claims, COSMOS certification requires third-party verification that products meet strict criteria for:
• Ingredient sourcing: At least 95% of physically processed agro-ingredients must be organic
• Manufacturing: Production must follow sustainable, environmentally-responsible practices
• Packaging: Materials must be recyclable and minimize environmental impact
• Transparency: Complete ingredient disclosure and origin traceability
COSMOS is overseen by five major European organic certification bodies. When you see the COSMOS seal, you know the product has been independently verified — not just self-certified by the brand.
What COSMOS Certification Guarantees
99% natural ingredients — no synthetic chemicals unless absolutely necessary and approved
No parabens, phthalates, or sulfates — banned substances list enforced
Sustainable sourcing — ingredients must be traced to ethical, environmentally-responsible origins
No animal testing — products and ingredients never tested on animals
Biodegradable formulas — minimal environmental impact after use
Transparent labeling — complete INCI ingredient disclosure required
