What are organic products for beauty?
Organic Beauty Products don't contain synthetic chemicals such as parabens. These ingredients are found in most conventional beauty products, including cosmetics, perfumes, shampoos, etc.
Organic beauty products are also free from animal testing and do not contain any genetically modified organisms (GMO).
The USDA defines organic production as "a system of production which fosters the cycle of resources" and it has been used since decades to refer to foods grown without pesticides.
There has been a rise in demand for ecofriendly beauty products over the years due to the negative effects of chemical chemicals on our skin.
These include skin irritations, cancer, hormonal imbalance, premature aging, and allergies.
Organic beauty products are created by companies that care about the environment and create safe, healthy products for customers.
Does organic mean it is pesticide-free?
Organic food does not contain pesticides or chemicals and is therefore chemical-free. This means that organic foods are not subject to chemical pesticides or fertilizers.
Because it is free from harmful additives, organic produce has higher nutritional value than conventionally produced food.
The USDA National Organic Program, (NOP), requires farmers to adhere to strict guidelines when cultivating organic crops.
These guidelines include soil preparation, crop rotation, pest control, water conservation, and harvesting practices.
Organic farming methods also benefit wildlife and natural environments.

How To
Organic foods: Are they safer and more nutritious?
Organic foods are produced without the use of chemical pesticides and synthetic fertilizers. They are grown under natural conditions, without artificial inputs like pesticides, herbicides hormones, antibiotics, genetic engineering, and fungicides. Crop rotation, cover crops and the use of compost animal manure, wastewater recycling, and integrated pest management (IPM) are some examples of organic farming.
In 2002, USDA National Organic Program was established. It regulates the handling, processing, labelling and sale of organic products within the United States. Organic agricultural products must be produced in accordance with federal standards as set out by the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. Additionally, organic products must not contain prohibited substances like pesticide residues or genetically modified organisms.
There are two types available in the U.S. for producers who want their products to be labeled "organic". One for farmers and ranchers, and one for manufacturers. Both programs require audits of operations each year to ensure that they are meeting strict standards. Many certifying agents offer this service, including CCOF Certified Organic Farmers & Ranchers (QA International), American Grassfed Association, and Quality Assurance International. These three organizations provide third party verification of farms following strict guidelines on environmental stewardship. labour practices, and animal care.
The USDA's Economic Research Service estimates that organic agriculture was responsible for $4.7 billion of 2013 sales. The retail spending on organic products accounted for nearly $1.5 billion in 2013, a 23 percent increase over 2009. The number of grocery stores that sold organic products increased 12 percent over the same period. Direct purchases of organic produce saw a 29 percent increase in spending, while seafood, meat, poultry and eggs experienced a 1 percent growth.
While organic food costs more, consumers say its quality justifies the added expense. Consumer Reports found that 88 per cent of respondents would be willing to pay more for organic food if the nutritional value was higher. Health Affairs also published a study showing that organic foods are less likely for people to get heart disease, diabetes, cancer, or obesity.
Although organic foods are not proven to prevent or treat certain diseases, some research suggests that they could improve overall health and reduce exposure to pesticides. According to a 2010 review of 31 studies, organically raised beef showed significantly lower levels in toxic chemicals and parasites than conventionally produced beef. A separate analysis of 11 studies published in 2012 reached similar conclusions.
The Environmental Working Group produced a 2014 report that compared organic and non-organic chickens, pork, beef and lamb. The report also pointed out that E.coli 157 caused human illness declined in both children and adults following 2006 when USDA established stricter organic standards.
