Until now there had no way to distinguish between the truly "green" products and those that were the least. With the new specifications Ecocert, the certifying body approved by the state, things will change. So far only four brands (Gentle Nature Body Nature, Cie de Provence and Prophessence) bearing the logo Ecocert both red butterflies.

If the content of an ecological product is not necessarily a selling point, the lack of environmental consideration on the part of companies appears to be a risk.


-- Logos significant

Ecocert: Products certified and meet the environmental toughest.

European Ecolabel: It has been in existence for three years for certain detergents. It takes into account the environmental impact throughout a product's life.

"Sustainable-cleaning": Managed since 2004 by industry, it rewards the best environmental efforts.


-- Are forget

The ring Moebius: Present on most products, it is evidence of just that the products can be recycled.

The green dot: It means that the industry has paid its dues mandatory Eco-Emballages, which manages the recycling of household waste.
