An EU-based natural-and-organic cosmetics certification. Three grades: Natural, Natural with Organic portion, and Organic.	A German farmers' association whose private organic standard is stricter than the EU baseline. Covers food, aquaculture, textiles, and cosmetics. Recognised globally.

Stricter-than-baseline organic standards across food, textiles, cosmetics, and farming. Annual on-site inspection. Animal welfare standards (outdoor access, lower stocking density).	Restricted ingredient list (no synthetic fragrances, no silicones, no PEGs). Tiered organic content: Natural with Organic portion ≥70% certified organic; Organic ≥95%.

Does NOT	Doesn't mean organic — Non-GMO products can use synthetic pesticides and fertilizers freely.	Logo is trademarked — not a free-licence mark.	Mark is trademark-protected.	Membership-based — only farms that join the Naturland association can use the mark.
