How do I know if it’s really organic?
Made with organic” products will not bear the USDA organic seal, but, as with all other organic products, must still identify the USDA-accredited certifier. You can look for the identity of the certifier on a packaged product for verification that the organic product meets USDA’s organic standards. The USDA Organic seal also tells you that a product is 100% organic or made with at least 95% organic ingredients. Products with 70-94% organic ingredients cannot use the USDA Organic seal, but they can be labeled Made with Organic Ingredients.
Which is better, pure or organic?
Organic Essential Oils: Nature’s Best, Certified If pure is the first step, then organic is the next level—the gold medal of essential oil quality. Unlike the self-proclaimed title of pure, organic is a strictly regulated, third-party certification. Essential oil brands often use marketing terms like pure and natural that may not reflect the actual quality. The true distinction between essential oil brands lies in their transparency rather than their packaging. Consumers should look beyond labels to evaluate the authenticity and safety of essential oils.
