The words “natural” and “clean” can mean different things in the world of skincare. COSMOS and ECOCERT are associated with standards that establish criteria for natural and organic cosmetics. At OPAL, we use these standards as a reference for our formulation philosophy, prioritizing thoughtful ingredient choices and greater transparency about what goes into our products.
01 — Understanding the Standards
COSMOS establishes standards for natural and organic cosmetics, while ECOCERT is a certification organization that evaluates products and ingredients against applicable standards. Together, they provide a framework for more transparent cosmetic formulation.
02 — Thoughtful Ingredient Choices
OPAL’s formulation philosophy excludes ingredients such as petroleum-derived mineral oils, silicones, parabens, and synthetic fragrances and colorants. Our approach prioritizes carefully selected ingredients and botanical alternatives.
03 — Transparency in Formulation
Knowing what goes into a product helps consumers make more informed choices. We believe ingredient selection should be intentional, with a clear understanding of each formula and the role of its components.
04 — Beauty with a Conscious Approach
Our approach to clean beauty goes beyond the idea of a “natural” label. We aim to make considered choices throughout product formulation, balancing ingredient selection with the quality and purpose of each product.
