Ecocert specializes in COSMOS certification, which promotes eco-friendly and socially responsible practices in the skincare industry. This certification is awarded to natural skincare brands that adhere to strict standards for environmentally friendly production, responsible use of natural resources, respect for biodiversity, and the exclusion of petrochemical ingredients such as parabens, phenoxyethanol, perfumes and synthetic colourants, as well as GMOs. Additionally, the certification requires the use of recyclable packaging.

All of Isae Mie's skincare products have received Ecocert certification, meaning that they have been thoroughly scrutinized by the Ecocert team, from formulation to production and packaging. However, there are two product categories: Natural and Organic.

  • Production Techniques

    The certification ensures that the production techniques used to create the cosmetic products are environmentally friendly and safe for consumers. To achieve this, recommended extraction techniques such as cold pressure, distillation, infusion, steam extraction, and crystallization are employed, while techniques such as ionizing radiation, ethoxylation, sulfonation, or treatments with mercury or ethylene are strictly prohibited.

  • Cruelty Free

    Only the use of substances produced by live animals, such as milk or honey, is permitted, as long as no harm is caused to them or their ecosystem in obtaining them. COSMOS cosmetics do not contain substances or parts of dead animals and neither the product nor its components can be tested on animals.

  • Reused or Recycled

    COSMOS certifications aim to ensure excellence in every aspect of a product's manufacturing process, packaging, and useful life. The certification encourages products to minimize their packaging and to ensure that any packaging used can be reused or recycled. Moreover, natural cosmetics manufacturers must meet sustainability criteria, such as utilizing clean energy and having a waste management plan in place.
