We head to BeautySum India & Biofach India
Earlier this month, Laurent Milet, General Manager of COSMOS-standard AISBL, visited India to connect with industry leaders and stakeholders advancing natural and organic cosmetics in the region.
Sharing the COSMOS vision at BeautySum India
At BeautySum India, Laurent delivered a keynote presentation titled “Certifying Trust: Shaping the Organic and Sustainable Cosmetic Landscape.” His talk highlighted the vital role certification plays in building consumer confidence, ensuring transparency, and supporting brands as they transition to more sustainable practices.
“Certification is about more than compliance—it’s about trust,” Laurent explained. “It reassures consumers that what they see on a label truly reflects the product inside, while giving brands a framework to innovate responsibly.”
With India’s natural and organic beauty sector rapidly growing, the conversation sparked great interest among attendees eager to learn how COSMOS certification can support their goals.
Connecting at Biofach India
Following BeautySum, Laurent joined Biofach India, the country’s leading trade fair for organic products. Here, he met with the Ecocert India team, an important COSMOS partner, to strengthen collaboration and exchange insights on how certification is evolving in the Indian market.
The visit underscored the increasing demand for clear, credible standards in natural and organic cosmetics—not just in Europe, but globally.
Looking ahead
India’s beauty and personal care industry is at an exciting crossroads, with consumer expectations shifting toward sustainability, authenticity, and quality. COSMOS is proud to play a part in this journey, working alongside certification bodies, brands, raw ingredient producers and industry leaders to shape a future where organic and natural cosmetics are the norm.
