Natural cosmetics spreads allover the world very quickly and European companies from UK, Germany, Italy, Belgium and France decided to establish a standard of natural cosmetics and natural organic cosmetics. This standard is known as COSMOS standard. It was decided that natural cosmetics products should include only several natural cosmetics ingredients. These components of natural beauty cosmetics are very few in number. They are: plant ingredients, natural minerals, water. Even the European Union is interested in the quality of natural cosmetics. They adopted several laws according to which every natural cosmetics company is tested as it is very important to protect people against products of bad quality.

The European Union established a number of components that should be excluded from natural cosmetics. In this list one can find components of petrol-chemical origin, hydrogenated fat, the sodium laureth sulphate and surfactants sodium lauryl sulphate (toxic). These ingredients have a very harmful effect on the human organism.
