Q: What’s the Difference Between Natural and Organic?
Natural typically refers to ingredients derived from plants or minerals. Organic describes substances grown without synthetic pesticides, fertilizers and processed without man made chemicals.
For products to bear the U.S. Department of Agriculture Seal, 95 to 100 percent of its ingredients must meet the agency’s organic standards. Products that contain 70 percent can use “made with organic ingredients”, but they will not receive the seal. These rules also apply to cosmetics.
