Terressentials:
USDA Certified Organic.

USDA Organic: they call it "the gold standard."  

Why?

Because, to carry the USDA seal, an organic product must contain 95 to 100% USDA organic ingredients*, verified by a third-party certifier.

Without the USDA seal, an "organic" body care product can contain just about anything: chemical preservatives, synthetic detergents, reacted oleochemicals. Yuck.  We don't call that organic.

So we went for the seal, to prove that we're the real deal.

Terressentials was thoroughly reviewed and inspected by organic certifiers from the Maryland Department of Agriculture and found officially in conformance with USDA National Organic Program rules.

*not counting added water and salt.  The remaining 5% is limited to nonorganically produced agricultural ingredients which are not commercially available in organic form and ingredients allowed by the National Organic Program.

Our state certifier is not permitted, by law, to certify organic products to a lesser standard than USDA Organic. Commercial certifiers can certify that a product meets a lax industry-created "organic" standard. Our state certification (which is legally binding nationwide) is your guarantee that there's no funny business.
