Recently, Chengdu Cosmo Biotech Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Cosmo Biotech) announced that its core microneedle ingredient—VeSpicule Silica 99%—has obtained dual international authoritative certifications: COSMOS APPROVED (Ingredient Approval Certification) and Vegan Certification. This milestone signifies that the company’s ingredient has reached the global top standards in terms of naturalness, environmental friendliness, and ethical safety. It also highlights Cosmo Biotech’s commitment to a natural, sustainable, and responsible brand philosophy in the field of cosmetic ingredient R&D, providing global beauty brands with more competitive high-end natural ingredient solutions.
VeSpicule Silica 99%, launched as a brand-new fully natural microneedle ingredient by Cosmo Biotech in 2026, boasts the unique core advantages of “non-invasive penetration, gentle yet highly effective.” It is widely applicable in professional skincare treatments and daily skincare products. It can efficiently enhance the penetration of other active cosmetic ingredients, improve skin metabolism, and repair the skin barrier, addressing the pain points of traditional skincare ingredients being difficult to penetrate the skin and prone to causing irritation. It is an ideal skincare ingredient choice that balances efficacy and gentleness, with its compliance and safety having undergone thorough scientific testing and validation.
The COSMOS APPROVED certification obtained this time adheres to the highest global standards for natural cosmetic ingredients jointly established by authoritative COSMOS certification bodies from various European countries, including BDIH (Germany), Cosmebio (Belgium), Ecocert (France), ICEA (Italy), and Soil Association (UK). It requires that ingredients meet requirements for cleanliness, environmental protection, and respect for human health throughout all stages—sourcing, production, and marketing—prohibiting harmful additives and polluting production processes. The certification mark is awarded after a full-process audit by independent authoritative bodies and serves as a core reference for cosmetic consumers to identify natural, safe, and eco-friendly ingredients. Cosmo Biotech’s ingredient VeSpicule Silica 99% successfully passing this certification fully proves its complete alignment with international high-end natural skincare ingredient core standards regarding naturalness, ingredient safety, and environmental friendliness. It can be used as a compliant ingredient in cosmetic finished products applying for COSMOS ORGANIC or COSMOS NATURAL certification.
The Vegan Certification simultaneously awarded to VeSpicule Silica 99% is issued after audit by the internationally authoritative vegan certification body, the American Vegetarian Association (AVA). The core requirement of this certification is that the ingredient and its entire production process are 100% free from any animal-derived components and derivatives (including milk, eggs, honey, lanolin, etc.), with no animal testing conducted across the entire supply chain. It also strictly prevents cross-contamination with animal-derived products, demonstrating a pursuit of extreme animal protection and ethical skincare, aligning with the current global consumption trend and environmental philosophy of “clean skincare, cruelty-free.” Obtaining this certification not only confirms the non-animal-derived nature of Cosmo Biotech’s VeSpicule Silica 99% but also reflects the brand’s firm commitment to sustainable development and ethical responsibility. It provides reliable ingredient choices for beauty brands emphasizing vegan principles (such as halal cosmetics), helping them create vegan skincare products that meet the needs of global consumers.
Securing these two international authoritative certifications is both high recognition of Cosmo Biotech’s quality and confirmation of its rarity and stringent quality standards within the cosmetic ingredient industry. Since its establishment, Cosmo Biotech has been deeply engaged in the R&D of high-end cosmetic ingredients, building a full-chain quality control system. For VeSpicule Silica 99%, it employs modern advanced production processes that eliminate impurities and harmful substances while utilizing safe, harmless, and eco-friendly biotechnology to optimize production processes and reduce environmental impact. The entire process strictly adheres to the rigorous requirements of the dual international certifications. After multiple rounds of audit, rectification, and verification, it finally passed the certifications smoothly, which also reflects the high threshold of the certifications and the excellence of the ingredient’s quality.
As an innovator and leader in the global microneedle ingredient product segment, Cosmo Biotech always benchmarks itself against international standards. This dual certification for its VeSpicule Silica 99% product not only further solidifies the brand’s core competitiveness in the field of natural skincare ingredients but also broadens the global application scenarios for cosmetic microneedle ingredients. It can be widely used in high-end professional skin rejuvenation treatments and daily at-home skincare products. Leveraging its advantages of being natural, safe, and eco-friendly, it assists partner brands in creating high-quality products that possess naturalness, efficacy, and ethical attributes, building differentiated competitiveness in the global beauty market.
In the future, Cosmo Biotech will continue to uphold its development philosophy of being natural, sustainable, and responsible. It will persistently deepen R&D and technological innovation in microneedle product ingredients, continually launching more cosmetic ingredients that meet international high-end standards. With stringent quality, advanced technology, and comprehensive service, it will provide global beauty brands with more valuable ingredient solutions. Simultaneously, it will actively practice environmental and ethical responsibilities, promoting the high-quality development of the beauty industry towards natural, safe, eco-friendly, and sustainable directions, empowering the global skincare industry upgrade with professional strength.
