How Organic Is Your Beauty Product?

Want to go more organic with your skin care? Take a look at your products' packaging, and then compare them to these USDA organic labeling standards.

100% organic: The product must contain only organically-produced ingredients (excluding water and salt).

Organic: The product must contain at least 95% organically-produced ingredients (excluding water and salt).

Made with organic ingredients: The product must contain at least 70% organic ingredients (excluding water and salt).

Less than 70% organic ingredients: The product cannot use the term "organic" anywhere on the front label. However, it may identify the specific ingredients that are organically produced on the ingredients statement.

Products made in other countries may have different but similar standards. Look for those governments' organic seals, or that of a private certifying agency.
