Our commitments

J'adore bio's selection is built on a strict ingredient policy. Before it reaches our shelves, every product is checked against our criteria: its formula, the absence of the ingredients on our exclusion list and no animal testing. We talk to each brand to understand how its products are made and where its ingredients come from.

J'adore bio values

Our five labels

To help you choose, products are marked with five labels: vegan, alcohol-free, 100% natural, organic and handmade.

  • Vegan: the product contains no ingredients of animal origin, such as honey, beeswax, lanolin, albumen, carmine, cholesterol or gelatin.
  • Alcohol-free: the product contains no ethanol (ethyl alcohol), denatured alcohol, methanol, benzyl, isopropyl, cetyl, cetearyl, stearyl, decyl, myristyl, lauryl, oleyl or isostearyl alcohol, and no palm alcohol. Alcohol is used in cosmetics as a preservative, among other things, but it can dry out or irritate sensitive skin: this label is designed for it.
  • 100% natural: all ingredients are of natural, mainly plant, origin and have undergone only simple processing, such as cold-pressing seeds to extract their oil.
  • Organic: the product carries one of the internationally recognised certifications: ECOCERT, BDIH, Soil Association, COSMOS, NATRUE or Cosmebio. Each label has its own criteria; as a general rule, at least 10% of ingredients must come from organic farming. Not all brands in our selection are certified, as certification remains expensive, especially for small brands.
  • Handmade: the product is made by hand by artisans in their own workshop.

The ingredients we exclude

We have studied hundreds of ingredients used in cosmetics and drawn up a list of substances we do not accept in the products we stock. The list is not exhaustive and evolves with our analyses; the detailed version is in our clean beauty charter.

Reading an ingredient list

The quality of a cosmetic does not depend on its price: you find it in affordable products as well as in more expensive ones. To decode a label, favour short, readable ingredient lists.
