Discover our unique approach to uncover quality.
Evaluation process
Monde Selection aims to deliver the most impartial and independent evaluation. The quality of each cosmetic product is evaluated by a panel of independent and renowned experts according to a very precise methodology and criteria.
Monde Selection distinguishes itself by being the only Quality Institute that offers a global evaluation of cosmetic products.
Indeed, the evaluation procedure takes into account not only sensory qualities such as the ease of use, the product appearance, the smell, the texture, or any other relevant sensorial criteria but also other important parameters such as the formulation, clarity of the label and packaging, safety of the composition, technology and innovation of the product, etc. This methodology guarantees therefore a unique 360° quality assessment of your product.
Monde Selection’s cosmetic jury takes time to be constantly up to date with new scientific studies, technologies and trends at the international level. They are also carefully evaluating each product individually without comparing it to another.
For every type of product, the analysis is based on two main axes :
Quality Labels
The Awards that will show your consumers you care about quality
Grand Gold recognition means that your final result from our panel of experts received a score between 90% and 100%. The Gold Medal represents a score between 80% and 89%, and the Nominee distinction is for products that score between 70% and 79%.

Scientific evidence
Monde Selection has developed rigorous methodologies for the scientific analysis of cosmetics. This includes analysis by a Scientific Committee made up of many professionals from the pharmaceutical, biological, chemical and medical fields, but also by independent laboratories recognised in Europe.
Our Scientific Committee closely follows the evolution of international legal requirements, trends in the cosmetics industry, emerging consumer expectations, opinions from professional organisations and international scientific data publications on active substances.
This part of the evaluation includes the verification of scientific claims, the analysis of the active substances and potential side effects of the product.
Sensory Analysis
Our jury of experts carefully assesses various parameters, including the product’s external appearance, smell, texture, and spreadability. They also evaluate key aspects such as softness, greasiness, film residue, and afterfeel, ensuring a comprehensive review of each product’s sensory experience. This meticulous assessment allow to take consumer satisfaction into account and therefore maintain a comprehensive approach.
Complementary Evaluation
The jury monitors international legal requirements, industry trends, consumer expectations and the latest scientific data on active substances. In order to maintain high quality standards, the assessment may also take into account the formulation and technologies used, the overall purpose and context of the product, as well as its conditions of use or any other criteria relevant to the type of product.
