Organics Gift Guide

Organic is confusing--and tough to master. Sometimes we just want to throw our hands up and give up, but don't! We've done some of the hard work for you by scouting out some of the best organic gifts available. Today we’re focusing on USDA-certified organic beauty gifts. Sure, it’s not perfect, but it's a start. Click through first for a USDA-guideline breakdown, then for our USDA-Certified Organic Gift Guide (the products, not our guide, are USDA-certified).

USDA Organic-Certified

Through the National Organic Program, the U.S. Department of Agriculture regulates food ingredients found in cosmetics, and the Certified USDA Organic symbol is one of the most trustworthy labels around, especially on foods. But because the USDA only has jurisdiction over farm-raised ingredients, not all beauty product ingredients are regulated under this program, and there are more than enough ways to get confused. Here is a quick guide:

  • Not regulated: Plant-derived ingredients and essential oils.
  • Regulated: Ingredients like honey, cinnamon, avocado, and other foods.
The term "organic," as it appears on beauty labels, has four variations.
  1. 100% Organic: The product must contain only organically produced food ingredients, and the label will display the USDA Organic seal. 
  2. Organic: The product must contain at least 95% organically produced food ingredients, and the label will display the USDA Organic seal.
  3. Made with Organic Ingredients: The product must contain at least 70% organically produced food ingredients. While the front of the product can list up to three organic ingredients or one organic food group, the label will not have the USDA Organic seal. Individual ingredients on an ingredient list will be labeled as "organic."
  4. Organic Ingredients: Products which contain less than 70% organically produced food ingredients can only indicate organic ingredients on their ingredients list, but these products cannot display the USDA Organic seal.

Thanks for sharing this information. I really like your way of expressing the opinions and sharing the information. It is good to move as chance bring new things in life, paves the way for advancement, etc. But it is well known to everyone that moving to new location with bulk of goods is not an easy task to move or shift from one place to other place because I have experienced about that and I face the problem like that. There I go to village near to my city faced that problem there.FC0-GR1//HIT-001//JK0-017//JK0-018//LX0-101//HP0-Y12//646-206//HP2-Z21//CISSP//LX0-102

Individual ingredients on an ingredient list will be labeled as "organic."
