ECOCERT certification
We’re going green! Merck cosmetic ingredients with ECOCERT certification
Use these ECOCERT-backed ingredients and get with the eco trend
Merck's goal has always been to create products that are safe, reliable and effective. And now, we're proud to add "environmentally sound" to that list: several of our cosmetic ingredients have recently gained certification status from ECOCERT, the independent organization that represents the highest international standards for nature-friendly products. At a time of booming consumer demand for natural and natural products, this is an important development and a great marketing opportunity for skincare manufacturers.
ECOCERT and Merck: at the forefront of the natural revolution
ECOCERT is an independent organization that inspects cosmetics, textiles and food products in more than 80 countries. Its extremely strict standards encompass the entire production chain: confirming that the raw materials can be traced back to environmentally responsible sources, ensuring that those materials stay pure through the manufacturing process and checking the manufacturing process itself for the lowest possible environmental impact. By requiring products to contain a high proportion of natural ingredients and stipulating that 95% of its ingredients are cultivated using organic methods, ECOCERT offers a truly comprehensive overview.
We at Merck have demonstrated that we are up to the challenge. So you can trust any ECOCERT-backed Merck ingredient to meet the highest standards.
Harnessing the power of nature
So why are more and more of our cosmetic ingredients receiving nature-friendly certification? It's because we at Merck believe that real efficacy comes from nature itself. Simply put, plants have spent thousands of years developing the most effective ways to protect themselves from the elements and maintain their beauty - and we at Merck make those powerful natural solutions available for use by humans.
Here are a few of our certified-nature-friendly ingredients. Use them in your products and confidently advertise that they contain natural or naturallyderived ingredients:
- RonaCare® Ectoin: Discovered in the deserts and salt lakes of Egypt, this anti-wrinkle ingredient protects skin cells against UV-induced damages and dehydration.
- RonaCare® Tiliroside: This natural anti-inflammatory ingredient originating from the tiny protective hairs found on certain plant leaves helps protect very sensitive skin from irritation and itching.
- RonaCare® Bisabolol: Chamomile extract is every grandmother's cure for skin irritation and redness. We have enhanced the active principle of this time-tested remedy into a powerful, natural ingredient that can be used in a range of skin products.
- RonaCare® Rutinsulfate: Found in a variety of plant life, the bioflavonoid rutin can reduce the unsightly appearance of cellulite by keeping the capillaries healthy.
