| What it means | An EU-based natural-and-organic cosmetics certification. Three grades: Natural, Natural with Organic portion, and Organic. | The European Commission's voluntary environmental label. Covers cleaning products, paper, textiles, electronics, accommodation services. NOT an organic mark. | Germany's largest organic farmers' association. Bioland-certified farms operate to a stricter private standard than the EU baseline. | Germany's national organic mark, owned by the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture. Sits alongside the EU Leaf on most German organic packaging since 2001. Same standard as the EU Leaf — Bio-Siegel is the brand consumers recognise. |
