BASF’s business unit Personal Care Europe has announced that 50 of its products have been evaluated and approved for compliance with the Cosmos standard.
Developed by Europe’s leading NGOs for natural and organic cosmetics, this new standard has been set up according to common requirements and definitions for this specific cosmetic segment. The products concerned were already either Ecocert and/or BDIH-registered. BASF is therefore one of the first raw materials suppliers who offer a wide range of products in line with the new Europe-wide Cosmos guidelines and criteria. “We are very excited to have so many products approved for compliance with the new cosmetics standard,” say Ute Griesbach and Stephane Lacoutiére, both European marketing managers. “This means that when formulating organic and natural cosmetics according to the Cosmos standard, our customers can choose from a considerable range of recognised and approved products. We also plan to obtain certification for more products in the future, further expanding this choice.” The new international standard is the harmonised result of the most important national standards and reflects the increasingly international nature of the cosmetics market.
