Nowadays, organic personal care products are gaining popularity with no end in sight. This is because more and more consumers are aware that their skin is an organ that absorbs various substances, so they are turning towards natural ingredients and prefer less heavily chemical products. However, there are some differences between natural and organic products that are worth taking notes.

In general, organic beauty and personal care products use ingredients that are sourced from organic and non-invasive farming that do not release pollution, and use production steps that do not involve harsh chemicals to extract the essence. We can identify an organic personal care item with a Certified Organic or USDA Organic symbol, which means that the product has been certified to contain 95% organic ingredients. Also, consumers may look for the tag line “Made with Organic Ingredients”, which means the product contains 70% organic ingredients. If the content of organic ingredients is less than 70%, then look for the word “organic” in the ingredient list. Moreover, organic skin care does not contain irritating substances such as Paraben, Mineral Oil, SLS or Formaldehyde, and feature a “Cruelty Free” symbol on the label to claim that it has not been tested on animals. On the other hand, natural beauty products use ingredients extracted from nature and may contain more than 90% or 100% natural ingredients, but may not be of organic origin or gone through organic processes.
