What is an organic product?
The terms natural and organic are not officially regulated. There are independent organizations that accredit products as natural or organic based on different criteria.
Natural products are those made with ingredients of natural origin. These are those that come from plants, animals, microorganisms or minerals that are present in nature. In addition, the production process must ensure the integrity of these ingredients.
On the other hand, organic products are natural products produced in a sustainable and environmentally friendly way. Organic cosmetics come from ingredients that went through a production process free of:
Synthetic chemicals (Fertilizers, pesticides, dyes, preservatives…)
GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms)
