What does Certified Organic really mean?

There are often dozens of symbols on the sides of our personal care products – acronyms, bunnies and at times, illegible tiny text. It can be difficult to decipher what they all mean, but it is important to realise how significant the a small logo or two particular words is for our ecosystem. Namely, “Certified Organic”!

Basically, any brand can label their products as “Organic” because it is a very difficult term to regulate. “Certified Organic”, however, can only be used by brands who meet the strict guidelines of an accredited organic certifier.

In order to meet these guidelines, a company has to make sure that:

• No synthetic chemicals, fertilisers, pesticides, herbicides, growth hormones or growth regulators are used
• The plants and/or plant materials used are not Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs)
• The welfare of animals and the environment are respected

The entire product has to comply, it can’t just be some of the ingredients or some part of the product.
