Why Organic

Why should you choose certified organic personal care products?

  • 1. skin

  • It is the largest organ of the body and absorbs a lot of what it encounters every day.

  • 2. using beauty products

  • Certified to an organic standard reduces your skin's exposure to potentially harmful chemicals. Non-organic plants are commonly exposed to pesticides and other chemicals that can stay with the plant as it makes its way as a raw material into your personal care products.

  • 3. an organic standard

  • Using beauty care products not certified to an organic standard can expose you to unknown chemicals.

  • 4. other hidden contaminants

  • Many controversial ingredients "hide" in products because their listing is not required. For example over 500 chemicals, many of them considered hazardous, can be used to create a single ingredient listed as "fragrance" on a label. These include: Phthalates, Genetically Modified Organisms, and Ethoxylated Ingredients

  • 5. ensure your products are organic

  • Look for products with third party organic certifications. This will ensure that the product meets a published ingredient standard and has been independently certified. The NSF/ANSI 305 Certification seal represents the only American national standard specifically designed for personal care products containing organic ingredients. This seal ensures the product contains at least 70% organic content, and that all non-organic ingredients have been produced using acceptable ingredients and processes.
