What is COSMOS NATURAL certification and why does it matter?

It’s not enough for us to say. At Almora we do not make claims that are not validated by external experts.

Every Almora product has been checked and validated from seed to skin. COSMOS NATURAL certification is a standard that ensures personal care products are made with natural ingredients while adhering to strict environmental and ethical guidelines.

This certification is part of the COSMOS standard, which was developed by competent European authorities committed to best practices in sustainable and natural skincare.
