It's easy being green!

Like me, many people don't always know if their natural or organic products are the real deal.  Here is a quick and simple cheat sheet to help you find the products that deliver what they claim.  When  shopping for natural and organic products you want to look for these seals of approval!

 USDA ORGANIC 
In order to certified USDA Organic at least 95% of the ingredients must meet the USDA's National Organic Program standards for how their components are grown, mined and processed. 

NATURAL PRODUCTS ASSOCIATION
For a brand to even be considered for this certification, at least 60% of it's entire line must be natural.

WHOLE FOODS MARKET PREMIUM BODY CARE
Any item that earns this seal is made without any of the 400 "unacceptable" ingredients identified by Whole Foods Market.

ECOCERT
This is a European authority that requires at least 95% of a products ingredients to be of natural origin, and 10% organic.
