Organic Product Or Is It? How Do We Know?

Now that the “green” theme has become seemingly as popular as your favorite TV show, the word “organic” has sprouted up on the packaging of products all over the nation. In order to gain this denomination, however, certain standards must be met.

There are products on the market whose names may include “organic” in their name, but whose products may not necessarily meet the standards of a true organic product. There are a number of companies, whether related to organic skin care, organic hair care, organic shampoo, or many of the other organic products in existence right now, whose trade names may have included some form of the word “organic” or even implied it for many years, but under the new standards could now lead to complaints from customers and possible recalls of directorates of firms overseeing the classifications of these products. It is no longer acceptable to use the term “organic” to describe the product if the product doesn’t actually adhere to “organic” guidelines.

How are you able to make sure the product you are interested in purchasing actually is truly organic, you ask? Very simply put, check to make sure there is a certification on the label.

To be sure a product is free from artificial substances, such as fertilizers and pesticides, look for the words “Certified Organic”. This means that the product has been proven to be organic by an independent organization and meets strict standards which are not just claims made by the manufacturer. If a product is labeled “in conversion”, then that means the company has started their three year process to make their products become “certified organic”.

Now the next time you decide you want to “go organic”, you can make sure you know what you’re getting. Organic products may be a big part of our future, and at least now there is a way you can tell exactly what you are getting.
