BERGAMOND & BIRCH FROM DÜSSELDORF
At Bergamond & Birch, we don’t compromise on quality. Every formula is developed and produced under the strict regulations of the European Union.
In a world where greenwashing has become the norm, we choose radical transparency – and evaluate every step of our value chain based on ecological and ethical standards.
Crafted in Europe. Created with Conviction.
Formulated under the highest standards.
Every Bergamond & Birch formula is developed in Europe under strict regulatory oversight and crafted in certified laboratories.
We work exclusively with partners who share our values: ethical sourcing, clean processing, and a deep respect for both people and planet.
Our standards go beyond trends — they’re built into our process.
From formulation to filling, every step is transparently documented and guided by one principle:
Skincare should be honest, effective, and responsible.
OUR COMMITMENTS IN DETAIL
We use monomaterials and recycled plastics wherever technically possible — to ensure our packaging is as responsible as what’s inside.
No Bergamond & Birch product has ever been tested on animals.
We fully comply with the European Cosmetics Regulation (EC 1223/2009) — and go beyond it.
Our fulfillment partner operates CO₂-compensated logistics with plastic-free secondary packaging — from warehouse to your doorstep.
Nature is not a marketing tool.
We use only plant extracts that are backed by dermatological data and verifiable ecological traceability.
Wherever possible, we rely on raw materials certified by COSMOS or ECOCERT.
These seals ensure organic farming, fair supply chains, and transparent processing — meeting the highest European standards.
Every batch is tested for microbiological purity, heavy metals, and potential allergens — far beyond what is legally required.
ACCOUNTABILITY CAN BE MEASURED.
"Our principles aren’t driven by marketing – but by medical insight and regulatory precision."
„Truly sustainable skincare starts where ethical action, regulatory integrity and scientific accountability come together. Bergamond & Birch is setting a new standard.“
Dr. M. Riedel
Dermatologist & Scientific Advisor at Bergamond & Birch
FAQ: Certifications, Quality & Standards
COSMOS is one of the most respected international certifications for natural and organic cosmetics. It ensures that ingredients are sustainably sourced, environmentally processed, and free from controversial substances like microplastics, parabens, and synthetic dyes.
ECOCERT is an independent control body that audits according to COSMOS standards. While COSMOS defines the framework, ECOCERT is the certifying agency that verifies a brand’s compliance – covering everything from raw material origin to production practices.
Most of our products are COSMOS- or ECOCERT-certified, and we transparently list certification status on each product page. In cases where a product is not certified, it still adheres to the same internal standards for formulation and sustainability.
Yes – our entire range is vegan. We do not use animal-derived ingredients and never test on animals, in line with EU Regulation 1223/2009.
All formulations are developed and manufactured in certified European laboratories. Every batch undergoes extensive microbiological, allergen, and heavy metal testing — exceeding EU regulatory requirements.
We believe transparency matters more than visual labels. Some products may not carry an on-pack certification mark to maintain minimalist design – but full documentation is available online. We focus on real standards, not marketing stamps.
Absolutely not. Bergamond & Birch is 100% cruelty-free and complies with the EU-wide ban on animal testing in cosmetics.
Many of our ingredients come from certified organic farming and carry COSMOS ORGANIC or ECOCERT NATURAL status. Full traceability and clean cultivation are part of our formulation philosophy.
