Ethical and transparent BIO cosmetics
The basic principles which support the cosmetics brand ABILIA. since its creation, throughout all the actions which implement its development are ethics and transparency.
In accordance to these bases, we have decided to certify all our ecological products with the only non-profit certifier of Spain. The latter focuses on guaranteeing qualitative cosmetic products, respectful of the rights of the environment and the living beings which surround us.
With ABILIA. we incite you to discover a little more about its trajectory and its moral principles:
ACENE is a non-profit association which guarantees and certifies that all partners comply with ACENE’s standards of NATURAL/ECOLOGICAL/VEGAN cosmetics and animal cruelty-free.
To give more value to our label, we have started a collaboration with the label TEPROTEJO www.teprotejo.cl with the aim to unify criteria in the fight against animal cruelty. ACENE is a partner of the farmers’ association ECOVALIA www.ecovalia.org and we collaborate with regional, national and international products certified by CAAE, CAECYL, CPAEN etc.
ACENE collaborates with the project MICROENTREPRENEUR WOMEN.
ACENE has its headquarters in Spain, but it works in the whole world with farmers and associations which, just like us, are not in favour of putting more at risk the rights of living beings and of their environment. We believe that either you distinguish yourself or you become extinct, we want to be a reference of good practices, things are not as complicated as some want to make us believe.
We take care of the verification process of the required labs, we look at the correctness of the documentation – that the norms are respected, that the fabrication processes are adequate, and mostly to take care of the interests of our partners, making sure that their projects can be fulfilled in a simpler way.
IMPORTANTLY: ACENE has wanted to be the first to disassociate itself from any certification that due to commercial pressures has changed the rules of not testing on animals, we are an independent association and our norm and standard is strict : NO TESTING ON ANIMALS, under no circumstances, we are not subject to any criteria of any certifier that does not meet our values. Under no circumstances will we accept raw materials, products, or by-products that have been tested on animals.
The minimum requirements to be able to use with the BIO/NAT ACENE label are specified in our user guide, according to our own criteria and the most demanding certification criteria of the European standards, the current regulations and the guides of good manufacturing practices.
This guide of use does not try to replace the European regulation of cosmetic products, Regulation EU 1223/2009, any regulation, guidelines and legal regulation in force either local, national or international level.
