Frequently Asked Questions
What are organic products for beauty?
Organic Beauty Products are natural products that do not contain any synthetic chemicals, including parabens. Phenoxyethanol, phthalates and artificial preservatives. These ingredients are commonly found in conventional beauty products like cosmetics, shampoos, and perfumes.
Organic beauty products are not tested on animals and contain no genetically modified organisms.
The USDA defines organic food as "a system which fosters cycle of resources"; it has been used for decades by the USDA to describe foods that are grown without pesticides.
The harmful effects of chemical compounds on our bodies have led to an increase in the demand for ecofriendly beauty products.
These include skin irritation, hormone imbalance, premature ageing, and cancer.
Organic beauty companies believe in creating safe and healthy products while protecting the planet.
Are organic foods healthier?
According to the Environmental Working Group, organic vegetables and fruits had half the amount of pesticides as non-organic. They found that organic apples contained eight times fewer pesticides than non-organic apples, while organic strawberries were four times cleaner than their conventional counterparts.
Other studies suggest that eating organic food reduces exposure to toxic metals like lead and mercury. One study revealed that children who ate organic meat had 33 per cent lower blood lead levels than their counterparts who didn't eat organic meats. Another study concluded that pregnant women should avoid consuming conventional fish due to high levels of mercury.
Organic food tends to be healthier than nonorganic. Experts recommend fresh vegetables and fruits whenever possible in order to reduce the risk of getting cancer.
What is the difference between organic food and inorganic?
Organic food is free from pesticides, chemical fertilizers and sewage sludge. It can also be grown without irradiation or genetic modification. Organic farming practices contribute to soil health, water purity, and animal welfare.
Inorganic foods are produced using chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and sewage effluent. Irradiated foods are treated with radiation; genetically modified organisms (GMO) are created through biological engineering techniques.
"Organic" and "natural" are often interchangeable. But, "natural" does not necessarily refer to organic. You may also find products that are labeled as "natural", which could contain synthetic ingredients.
Organic produce is typically more nutritious than conventional produce because the soil contains fewer harmful chemicals and pesticides. Organic farmers are free from artificial fertilizers and pesticides.
What are the most popular organic products?
Today, organic food is the fastest growing industry. Even though we have come a long ways from our roots there is still plenty of room for growth.
Organic products are the future. They are safer and more cost-effective for consumers.
But they tend to be more expensive. This is why we created the Organic Food Index. We wanted to determine which foods are the most popular among shoppers today and whether these trends are changing.
These results indicate that organic food is growing in popularity. Between 2011 and 2012 the number of Americans buying organic food increased nearly 50%.
According to USDA, organic production grew by 10% last year. Organic food now accounts for 9% of U.S. agricultural output.
Although organic food is gaining popularity, it appears that consumers still have to pay a premium for it. According to the Organic Trade Association, (OTA), organic food retail prices are nearly twice as expensive than conventional options.
That said, organic food is growing faster than any other segment of the food sector. If you look closely at the data, it will be apparent that organic food consumption has steadily increased since 2009.
According to OTA however, the volume in supermarkets of organic products grew by 14% from 2010 to 2011.
This is due to consumer demand for healthier food, which explains why organic foods sales are rising across all age groups.
The younger generation is however leading the charge for organic food. Millennials are twice as likely to buy organic food compared to baby boomers. And young adults under 35 years old account for 25% of all organic food purchases.
What should I be looking out for when shopping organic products
USDA-certified organic labels are recommended. This certification means that the product is certified organic by USDA. On packages, boxes, cartons or cans, look out for the USDA Organic seal.
When purchasing meat, ensure it is 100% organic. Cattle are ruminants. They eat the whole animal. Ruminant cattle have 4 stomach compartments: Rumen, reticulum and omasum. If the cow is to be labeled "100% organic", all of its parts must have been organically fed.
You should only purchase chicken that has been raised organically. It must not have ever been treated with antibiotics. Chickens are omnivores, meaning they eat both plants and animals. Omnivorous chickens possess a digestive tract made up of a crop.
Buy only dairy products from cows that have been fed organically grown feed. Just like ruminants have four stomachs, dairy cows have four. The fourth stomach, or the udder is where you get milk.
If you are buying other types of livestock, make sure to check the label to determine the percentage of their diet. A label for pork might say "95% organic", which means that 95% of the feed used by the pork came from organic sources.
Is organic meat better?
This question is probably answered if you've been paying close attention. The problem is that organic food is increasingly popular, but conventional food continues its decline.
Organic foods continue to be popular because they offer a healthier alternative. Organic foods are safer for our bodies and help to reduce pollution.
However, this coin has two sides. Organic produce is more difficult to grow and takes more resources. Organic food is generally more expensive than nonorganic.
Organic meats will typically be more expensive than those that are raised in conventional conditions. But there are ways to cut costs without sacrificing quality.
Buy locally to save money. Locally grown fruits and veggies help to lower prices because farmers get incentives to grow good crops.
A great way to save money is to search for deals. You may be able to get discounts when you buy organics.
Finally, another way to save money is by eating less meat. Because of the amount of feed required to raise livestock, meat production can become expensive.
There are many reasons why organic food is better for our bodies and the planet, but we should be careful not to overlook the cost.

How To
What happens to your body when you switch to organic products?
Organic products are free from synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, hormones, and genetic manipulation. They are free-range and come from clean water sources. They are organic because they don't contain any additives or chemicals. This product was made from natural materials and is free of harmful substances.
The term "natural" refers how food is grown. This term is often used to refer to foods that are not processed into final forms (such as fruits). Natural foods are often more fresh than others, because they haven’t been processed with heat, radiation or chemical preservations. Natural doesn't necessarily have to be healthy, however. Experts aren't sure if there is much to be different between organic and traditional foods. Both types of food are tested for safety, quality, and purity. Organic produce is safer than conventionally produced produce.
Most grocery stores offer organic options. For organic meats, poultry, eggs and seafood, you should check with your local supermarket. Some companies sell only organic products. Other companies have separate sections. USDA Certified Organic and Non-GMO Project Verified are some of the options.
You should avoid eating these items if you are pregnant or nursing. Pesticides can harm unborn infants and babies.
