Eariler this year the USDA National Organic Standards Board (NOSB) passed a recommendation for “Solving the Problem of Mislabeled Organic Personal Care Products<\/a>.” The recommendation urges the USDA National Organic Program (NOP) to make sure that any use of the word “organic” on a personal care product is backed up by third-party certification to USDA organic standards.<\/p>\n

Why the fuss?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thus far, products for your body, i.e. cosmetics, shampoo, lotion, and so on, have not been regulated in any sort of a substantial way. A body care item can claim to be organic, with no viable proof to back it up. Unless a product is labeled with the USDA Organic seal, you can’t, as a consumer, be sure if the product is really organic. The Organic Consumer Association is one organization working on the issue, and is helping to spread the word to consumers about real vs. fake organics.<\/p>\n

Their website has a list of current “fakers” or products with no organic seal to back them up, even though some of their products may be labeled organic. The list of fakers includes…<\/p>\n

Amazon Organics<\/a>, Avalon Organics<\/a>, Desert Essence Organics<\/a>, Earth’s Best Organic<\/a>, Giovanni Organic Cosmetics<\/a>, Head Organics<\/a>, JASON Pure Natural and Organic<\/a>, Nature’s Gate Organics<\/a>, Organics by Noah’s Naturals<\/a><\/p>\n
