What is USDA Certified Organic?
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) developed a national standard for products claiming to be organic. Such skincare and cosmetic products and their ingredients are required to be produced without the use of pesticides, ionizing radiation, toxic petrochemicals, and synthetic preservatives in order to attain USDA Organic certification.
The product's organic classification is determined by the percentage of organic ingredients it contains -
Made with Organic Ingredients - : The product must contain at least 70% organic ingredients, but the USDA seal cannot be used anywhere on the product packaging.
Organic -: The product must contain a minimum of 95% organic ingredients, and must not be produced using ionizing radiation, pesticides, or other excluded methods, or contain any petrochemicals or synthetic preservatives. The USDA seal is permitted for use on the packaging.
100% Organic -: The product must contain organically-produced ingredients only, and the USDA seal may appear on the packaging.
