Biokosmetyki - Wszystko o Mikrodermabrazji Korundowej
What’s the difference between biocosmetics and organic cosmetics?
As we’ve seen above, biocosmetics and organic cosmetics are not the same. On the one hand, it’s true that both biocosmetics and organic cosmetics share a common goal: using natural ingredients that are safe and plant-based.
However, there are at least two key differences between the two:
- Organic cosmetics are defined by being made entirely from natural and organic ingredients, that is, ingredients that have grown following guidelines of organic farming (including the need to be processed without the use of synthetic chemicals, pesticides, or fertilizers).
- Contrary to what happens with biocosmetics, there are specific certifications targeting organic cosmetics. These standards are issued by a recognized certification body and aim at certifying particular requirements, such as that a certain percentage of the ingredients in the cosmetic product must be certified organic. On the other hand, there are no such specific standards or certifications that target biocosmetics.
As we’ve seen above, there’s not one particular certification that can verify that a cosmetic product can be considered as part of biocosmetics.
However, looking at the characteristics of biocosmetics that we’ve outlined above, it’s possible to make a preliminary verification checklist that consumers can use in case they want to determine whether a cosmetic formulation can be considered as part of biocosmetics:
- This checklist starts by looking at the formulation’s INCI, the International Nomenclature for Cosmetic Ingredients or, in other words, the ingredients that are part of a cosmetic formulation. At this point, consumers can notice if the formulation includes natural ingredients as well as synthetic chemicals such as parabens, or artificial fragrances, among other problematic ingredients.
- Concerning animal testing, some of the most well-known certifications include those developed by PETA, CCF (Choose Cruelty Free) and Leaping Bunny.
- Finally, as we’ve mentioned above, some certifications can verify some of the features that define whether a formulation is part of biocosmetics or not, including those issued by Ecocert, Cosmébio, USDA o BDIH.

Biocosmetics: Why they are the new brand differentiator
Biocosmetics are an evolution of natural skin care and organic cosmetics, featuring more than 99% plant-derived ingredients. While natural ingredients have numerous benefits for our hair, skin, and body, beauty brands need to go further, as important new dynamics in the natural beauty market arise. Biocosmetics provide a distinct answer for these new consumer demands that brands need to address.
This trend shows no sign of slowing, currently, this age group of women says they are willing to pay more for products with natural ingredients. However, as the younger segment of this group ages, their preference for natural ingredients will become an expectation rather than a perk, suggesting that ‘natural’ may longer be an effective brand differentiator, even when holding natural and organic certifications This is where biocosmetics come in – here, we discuss their features in a little more detail.
ORGANIC SHAMPOO + CONDITIONER 500 ml
This product manages to combine the strict requirements of the COSMOS standard with the functionality required of a conditioning shampoo. On the one hand, the surfactants used come from “green chemistry”, which provide a rich, thick lather and a pleasant sensation on the hair when massaged. The product also contains conditioning ingredients that provide softness to both wet and dry hair, facilitating combing.
Organic aloe vera, as the main active ingredient, is ideal to help define curls and combat frizzy hair. Since these two types of hair are more prone to tangling and drying, aloe vera will strengthen them with its moisturizing properties. This will result in healthy, well-defined curls.
