The EU Ecolabel recognizes products that have a lower environmental impact and a lower health impact than comparable products in their category. It also pays attention to performance levels. So, what this means is that with an EU Ecolabel product, you can be sure that it's more sustainable and still absolutely performs!

The EU Ecolabel was introduced in 1992 by EU Regulation EEC 880/92 as an environmental label and is recognized throughout the European Union (as well as Norway, Liechtenstein and Iceland). You can find more info here: https://eu-ecolabel.de/en/

Especially in the field of natural cosmetics and organic certifications, there are numerous colorful labels that can be found on the products. Some labels are often not official, but company-owned seals. For a clear and consumer-friendly declaration, the COSMOS seal was created. It is an internationally recognized and independent seal for certified natural cosmetics. The following criteria must be fulfilled by the products in order to meet the COSMOS standard:

• Indication of the amount of natural ingredients

• Promotion of the use of products from organic farming and preservation of organic diversity

• Responsible use of natural resources  

• Respect for the environment

• Use of processing and manufacturing methods that take into account the impact on human health and the environment

By certifying our NATURAL CARE products with the COSMOS NATURAL certificate, you can be sure that our products have met the listed criteria.

Did you know that the terms "vegan" and "vegetarian" are not yet legally protected? So that you can be sure that something is really vegan or vegetarian, we have our products certified by the Vegan Trademark by the Vegan Society. The Vegan Trademark is an internationally recognized and protected trademark that identifies products as vegan.

In order for a product to be awarded the Vegan Trademark, it must not contain any animal ingredients, animal by-products or raw materials derived from animals. Also, no animal materials may be used during production and no animal testing may be performed in any production step. Here we have an article for you why our everdrop products are vegan.

Dermatest is an internationally renowned company based in Germany. They test products for their dermatological compatibility, i.e. how the skin reacts to a product.

Those clinical dermatological tests are performed to the highest standards by a testing team of dermatologists and biologists. Many of our products carry the original DERMATEST® seal and were rated "very good" in the test. Would you like to learn more about skin compatibility, e.g. which detergent is suitable for sensitive skin?

The GOTS seal is probably the most recognized seal in terms of environmental criteria for textiles made from organically produced natural fibers. It gives you the assurance that all the requirements that ensure sustainable production of textiles have been met. The seal was developed to establish a globally recognized requirement for organic textiles.

It covers the manufacturing, transport and use phases of textiles, and also verifies social conditions in the supply chain. All factories in the supply chain must be certified and undergo an on-site inspection once a year in order for end products to carry the GOTS seal.
