NATURE - EU Cosmetic
NATRUE is a Brussels-based, non-profit association that promotes and protects natural and organic cosmetic products worldwide. Founded in 2007, NATRUE connects individuals and companies committed to the NATRUE label guarantee, which serves as a meeting point for natural and organic cosmetic products.
NATRUE's Mission: The mission of NATRUE is to develop and protect natural and organic cosmetic products for the benefit of consumers.
NATRUE Brand: NATRUE sets high standards for defining the naturalness of cosmetic products. Many products worldwide carry the NATRUE label, and numerous brands are in the certification process.
When you see a product with the NATRUE label, you can be assured that it meets high standards. Independent certification bodies monitor these processes, and they undergo a rigorous accreditation process managed by IOAS, a partner of NATRUE.

NATRUE Certification Process:
NATRUE's certification process is divided into two categories: finished products and raw materials.
Finished Products:
Required Steps:

- Sign a contract and send it to NATRUE once collaboration is officially approved with the NATRUE-certified label.
Raw Materials:
- Certification costs are entirely billed by the certifier and depend on the certification body you choose to work with.
Funding:
NATRUE's label fees are used to finance NATRUE's activities as it is a non-profit association.
