Why Choose Certified Organic?
What is Organic?
ONEgroup’s definition of Organic:
Grown, cultivated and processed without the use of synthetic chemicals such as insecticides,
herbicides and fumigants.
The Cosmetic Industry definition of Organic:
Any compound containing carbon.
(Carbon is found in anything that ever lived. So, by using this definition of organic it could be said that the toxic petro-chemical preservative methyl paraben is 'organic' because it was formed by leaves that rotted over thousands of years to become the crude oil to make this toxic preservative.)
What is Certified Organic?
Certified Organic is an Independent third party guarantee of integrity and purity.
Certified Organic products must comply with stringent International standards. These highest standards cover all aspects of the processing chain, to ensure that the organic integrity is maintained: from seed, growing, harvesting, storage, transporting and processing through to the finished product.
Without Organic certification, ANYONE can say their product is Organic and natural!

Five Benefits of Choosing Certified Organic:
1. Good for the soil. Organic systems rely on a modern and scientific understanding of ecology and soil science, while also depending on traditional methods of crop rotations to ensure fertility and weed and pest control.
2. Good for the environment. Organic systems aim to reduce dependence on non-renewable resources. Organic production aims at all times towards sustainability, while having the best management of the environment and wildlife as a priority.
3. Good for people. Organic based ingredients have been shown in a number of studies to contain more vitamins, nutrients and cancer fighting anti-oxidants than non-organic ingredients.
4. No synthetic chemicals. Organic systems prohibit the use of artificial chemicals, pesticides and fertilizers.
5. No GMO's. (Genetically Modified Organisms) Certified Organic products are produced without GMOs, which are prohibited in the standards for organic food and farming.
