COSMOS ORGANIC AND COSMOS NATURAL

The COSMOS standard is an international benchmark for natural and organic cosmetics. It was established by leading European certification bodies, including the Soil Association (UK), Ecocert and Cosmebio (France), BDIH (Germany), and ICEA (Italy). The COSMOS certification ensures that specific ingredients must come from certified organic farming (kbA), only approved raw material processing methods are permitted, and no petrochemical ingredients are used. Additionally, the entire manufacturing process, along with the packaging materials, must adhere to strict sustainability criteria.

COSMOS differentiates between natural cosmetics (COSMOS Natural) and organic cosmetics (COSMOS Organic).

The Vegan Flower

The Vegan Trademark is awarded by The Vegan Society in Great Britain and certifies products that are free from any animal ingredients and that no animal-derived substances have been used during production. Living a vegan lifestyle means avoiding all forms of exploitation and cruelty to animals, whether for food, clothing, or any other purpose.

Leaping Bunny

We are proud that all our face and body care products are approved under the Cruelty Free International Leaping Bunny programme. Leaping Bunny is a globally recognised programme, setting animal-free standards that surpass legal requirements and represent the gold standard for cruelty-free products. We follow a rigorous control system and actively monitor our suppliers to ensure full compliance. Our supplier monitoring process is also independently audited.

Economy for the Common Good (ECG)

For us, the common good and sustainability have always taken precedence over profit. Alongside more than 1,000 other companies, we continue to champion this philosophy through the Economy for the Common Good (ECG) model, producing a common good balance sheet. This approach not only covers economic factors but also includes ecology, social justice, transparency, and democratic participation. Our balance sheet has once again been independently audited, earning us recognition as an ‘exemplary’ company.

German Sustainability Award

The German Sustainability Award (DNP) is Germany’s most prestigious and well-known recognition in this field. Since 2008, it has been presented by the German Sustainability Award Foundation (Stiftung Deutscher Nachhaltigkeitspreis e.V.) to honour institutions and companies of all sizes that demonstrate exceptional commitment and innovation in ecological and social initiatives. Nominees, finalists, and prizewinners are acknowledged alongside partners from the federal government, municipal associations, business networks, civil society organisations, and research institutions.

In 2019, i+m became the first Berlin-based and smallest company to be named a TOP 3 finalist for the DNP. In 2020, i+m proudly won the award for the second time, and in 2021, we were finalists in the design category. We are thrilled to be nominated once again for the German Sustainability Award in 2025.
