UNWAVING THE TRUTH ABOUT ORGANIC PRODUCTS

Although organic and natural products aren’t new, they are becoming more legitimate. In the past and still today, almost any personal care product can claim organic ingredients without having to legally go through any certification process. Although many companies have participated in certification of their own accord to add credibility in the confusing and diluted world of naturals labeling, rising concerns for health safety, increasing green consciousness and growing consumer awareness are fueling the demand for genuine organic personal care products, according to a new study by Transparency Market Research. In fact, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Certified Organic label, which actually is for food and not personal care products grows, so too will the demand for legitimacy in growing practices and certification.

Even organic and natural spas are getting in on consumers’ growing appetite for naturals, so much so that Ecocert, a worldwide certification body specializing in the environment, recently launched an international standards specially designed for organic and natural spas. By integrating the Being certification program, spa owners can have access to the Ecocert network of the spa industry, as well as receive immediate visibility among consumers and professionals.
