Pure, Active Cosmos-Certified Organic Plant Formulations
COSMOS Organic certification offers assurance of the quality and integrity of the ingredients used to create Ipsum products and the product formulations themselves.
The COSMOS standard is the result of a harmonization effort conducted by five leading European certification bodies: BDHI (Germany), Cosmebio (France), Ecocert (France), ICEA (Italy) and Soil Association (UK) with the aim to create a globally recognised Organic and Natural Cosmetics Standard that meets stringent requirements, including:
To support the use of products from organic agriculture and respect biodiversity;
To use natural resources responsibly and respect the environment;
To use processing and manufacturing methods that are clean and respectful of both human health and the environment;
To integrate and develop the concept of “Green Chemistry”
“The love affair might have begun with the Lip Oil Balm but it continues throughout the entire Ipsum Skin collection – hero product after hero product.”

Q. Can I use Ipsum if I have sensitive skin or rosacea or eczema?
Yes – in particular, Ipsum Best Skin Nourishing Face Oil and Ipsum Best Skin Body Oil in Patchouli Rose have achieved great results when used as part of an everyday regime for sensitive skin issues. All Ipsum products do include very small amounts of beneficial essential oils in the formulations therefore it is always best to first carry out a small patch test on your skin.
Q. Are any of the Ipsum products suitable for oily skin?
Yes! Many plant oils help bring balance to oily skin and have powerful anti-inflammatory, anti-viral and antibacterial properties that can soothe sore and reddened acne skin. They also contain vitamins and anti-oxidants to help heal and restore skin back to health. All Ipsum products are formulated with plant oils and extracts that are highly beneficial to help decongest, balance and rejuvenate oily skin especially jojoba, rosehip, lavender, ylang ylang, patchouli, roman chamomile and Australian Sandalwood.
Q. Are Ipsum face and body oils safe to use during pregnancy?
Yes – and the massaging action plus the aromatherapy benefits of the oils can works wonders to balance skin and calm the mind.
A full list of ingredients are featured on all Ipsum products and as they contain very small amounts of essential oils, please do check with your doctor first if you are in any doubt.
