Quality control

Our work is carried out at every stage in accordance with national regulations, EU legislation and directives on cosmetic products, public health and environmental protection.

Our products are systematically analysed in our quality control department, along with document verification at reception, ensuring traceability and compliance before validation.

Since 2011 we have chosen one of the most renowned organic certifications, the Ecocert and COSMOS standard.

Raw materials and cosmetic ingredients recently introduced on the market, benefit from modern testing techniques and non-animal methods. All our products are vegan, with the exception of some such as beeswax, lanolin, royal jelly, propolis.

Ecocert/COSMOS standard

EOBBD Quality Standard

ELLEMENTAL essential oils are pure, authentic, compliant with the E.O.B.B.D. standard

Although there are many evaluation systems for ensuring the quality of an essential oil, the highest globally recognised standard is E.O.B.B.D. - essential oil botanically and biochemically defined. This rigorous standard includes tracking each batch of oil, botanical description, organoleptic characteristics, extraction method and full physico-chemical analysis. The E.O.B.B.D. assessment has a number of elements that ensure the quality and therapeutic properties of the essential oil for each stage of the production and distribution process, from plant to bottle.

Certification of our Organic Products

Since 2011 we have chosen one of the most recognized organic certifications, the Ecocert COSMOS standard. Ecocert France inspects the entire chain of organic cosmetic products in our portfolio, from the procurement of raw materials to the filling, packaging, storage, shipping and delivery process.

Quality, safety, traceability, packaging, storage and labelling of products, compliance with hygiene rules, administrative records, internal and commercial documents as well as all in-house practices are monitored and verified in terms of organic and ecological principles.
