Why Choose Certified Organic
Why Choose Certified Organic?
Currently, body care products are not required to comply with the stringent organic food standards maintained by certification bodies such as the BFA and NASAA in Australia and the USDA in America, hence the plethora of so many "organic" body care products now on the market.
Since water is the primary ingredient in many cosmetics, some manufacturers are claiming to use organic hydrosols, or floral water, to green wash their products and make organic label claims while using the same synthetic toxic ingredients that would NEVER be allowed in organic food products. We believe this practice has the potential to destroy the integrity of the organic name.
The only way customers can be assured that they are purchasing Real Organic products produced without the use of synthetic chemicals and GMO's is to purchase products which have been organically certified with a leading independent certifying body such as the;
ACO (Australian Certified Organic)
USDA(US Department of Agriculture)
BFA (Biological Farmers of Australia)
IFOAM(International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements)
Five Benefits of Choosing Certified Organic:
-
Good for the soil
Organic systems rely on a modern and scientific understanding of ecology and soil science, while also depending on traditional methods of crop rotations to ensure fertility and weed and pest control.
-
Good for the environment
Organic systems aim to reduce dependence on non-renewable resources. Organic production aims at all times towards sustainability whilst having best management of the environment and wildlife as a priority.
-
Good for people
Organic based ingredients have been shown in a number of studies to contain more vitamins, nutrients and cancer-fighting antioxidants than non-organic ingredients.
-
No synthetic chemicals
Organic systems prohibit the use of artificial chemicals, pesticides and fertilisers.
-
No GMO's
Certified Organic products are produced without GMOs, which are prohibited in the standards for organic food and farming.
