A beauty care product is COSMOS ORGANIC certified only if:
-         95% minimum of the plants it contains are organic
-         At least 20% of organic ingredients are present in the total formula (10% for rinse-off products)
Note: water or minerals are not regarded as "organic" for they are not from agriculture. Since water is a major component of numerous cosmetic formulas, it implies a dilution of the proportion of organic ingredients out of the total of the product. Thus, a massage oil which does not contain water may display up to 100% of organic ingredients.
