Our skin is the largest and thinnest organ we have. Our skin very easily absorbs whatever we apply to it. Ingredients in our skincare products, healthy or unhealthy, flow directly through our skin and into our bloodstream making it’s way to our delicate organs where they eventually accumulate. Unlike food, there are no federal regulations for skincare products, any company can claim its product is “natural” or “organic”.
To bear the prestigious United States Department of Agriculture, USDA Certified Organic Seal a product must contain at least 95% organically produced ingredients. The remaining ingredients are not available organically but have been approved by the NOP.
