Living Nature choose to certify their products with globally recognised certifying bodies who set some of the most rigorous standards worldwide to ensure we deliver you the most natural, safe and sustainable products.

BDIH & COSMOS
The majority of the Living Nature range is certified natural or organic by BDIH Germany. BDIH is a globally recognised certifying body who set some of the most rigorous standards worldwide for naturalness and environmental sustainability.
Over time the BDIH standard has evolved to become part of the COSMOS standard. The COSMOS standard was a merge of multiple certifying bodies to create a single, harmonised standard for natural and organic skincare and cosmetics. This single international standard ensures companies are actively working towards sustainable practices, as well as providing transparency and confidence for consumers in product safety and efficacy.
The strict criteria and annual audits ensure Living Nature adheres to sustainable ingredient sourcing practices and only safe natural ingredients are included in all formulations. Production and handling of ingredients is completed with care, right down to the cleaning agents used in production and how raw ingredients and products are stored. Our products are protected with environmentally friendly packaging and all marketing materials and communications are reviewed.

Additionally BDIH and COSMOS regulations echo Living Nature’s brand values concerning animal cruelty and ensure ingredient sourcing, product manufacturing and safety testing are conducted using industry best standards and are animal cruelty free.
