ERI 360° (Eco Responsible Ingredient), a label created by professionals of the cosmetic industry, has just certified three active ingredients manufactured by Gattefossé. This is an important step for the ingredient supplier, which has made eco-responsibility one of its major areas of development.
“ERI 360° brings together a set of tools and benchmarks to measure the sustainability and degree of eco-design of an ingredient. It analyzes the entire value chain, from the cultivation and harvesting of the plant to the exit of the factory,” says Gattefossé. “There are three levels of certification: bronze for a score between 75 and 85/100, silver for a score between 85 and 95/100 and gold for a score above 95/100.”
Gattefossé obtained two silver labels for Gatuline® Link’n Lift (which acts on wrinkles around the eyes) and Gatuline® Renew (an active ingredient that stimulates epidermal renewal). EnergiNius® (dedicated to the protection of cells against environmental stress), for its part, received bronze certification.
“We have been working for many months to obtain the ERI 360° label. Based on an analysis grid of 100 indicators, it is one of the strictest currently in force, and focuses on a 360° assessment of the value chain of an ingredient. The beauty industry is transforming, has high expectations for sustainability and at Gattefossé, we share our clients’ commitment to provide more responsible and constantly evolving assets. We intend to pursue ERI 360° certification for other products in the coming months,” explains Paula …
