eco cosmetics

Founded: 1993 Headquarters: Laatzen, Germany

The eco cosmetics company (formerly Venus) exists with its predecessors for 20 years. Originally, the company produced the Venus & Stirner essential oil series for naturopath medical practitioners.

In 2004, the company was formed new as eco cosmetics GmbH & Co. KG,and brought under the same name – in Germany – the first natural cosmetics series certified by Ecocert guidelines on the market. 2005 at the BioFach in Nuremberg we showed our latest development – a complete series using only natural herbal and mineral sun protection filters.

The ingredients contained in all of the products we develop are tested by Ecocert in compliance with the stringent guidelines for natural cosmetics. The ingredients in all of our products are 100% natural.

The ECO sunscreen products are equipped with extremely powerful herbal and mineral sunscreens. The protective effect for the skin was confirmed in several tests, both in laboratory tests and in clinical tests.

Whoever uses ECO sunscreen products can be sure that their skin is well protected against radiation from the sun. On the basis of test procedures valid worldwide an independent test institute has certified that ECO products offer an even higher light protection than promoted on the packaging. There is an online compilation of the relevant documents on manufacturer's home page.

The EN ISO 24442:2012 test which is valid worldwide is performed for ECO. We take responsibility for the effectiveness of our products very seriously and for safety reasons rely on tests performed by the IDEA institute. This institute works in close cooperation with the only clinic in Europe that specializes in the treatment of damage to the skin caused by solar radiation. Products which are supposed to protect our skin are tested here on a realistic basis using voluntary test persons (“in vivo”)

The results of these very extensive and costly in-vivo UVA tests provide detailed information concerning the actual UVA protective function for various skin types. With a rating of 19.9 the UVA protection effect of ECO sun lotion LPF 50 is considerably higher than the recommendation of the EU commission of 16.7 .In addition we also have in vitro tests performed. These tests also come to the result that ECO sunscreen products exceed the protective levels required.
