Organic Body Products

There are organic body products popping up on shelves everywhere claiming to be more beneficial for you than other products.

You’re probably wondering “what are organic body products and are they really better for me?” Well, organic skin care is a complicated issue. Here’s some help making sense of it all.

It’s true that using organic materials for body products is better for your health.

Many common skin and bath products include hundreds of toxic chemicals. Since these ingredients were not generally believed to be ingested into the body, there is very little regulation on what can and cannot be used to make various skin and bath products.

In recent years, science is discovering that many harmful chemicals can indeed be absorbed through the skin!

You may think “that’s horrible, I need to go buy organic body products today!”

But keep reading before you do. Since most producers can get away with upping prices just by putting “organic” on the label, there’s been a lot of deception in the market.

For instance, some manufacturers will replace one ingredient with an organic counterpart and mark their product as organic even though it contains all the same dangerous additives.

Others will be even more deceptive by using the scientific definition of organic. That means the “organic” ingredients they list simply contain carbon.


The first clue in looking for genuine organic skin care is to search for products with a certification seal.

Don’t stop there though. You need to know the standards for certification for each seal.

For example, the USDA ORGANIC seal means that the product is 95% certified organically grown ingredients.

You will need to familarize yourself with the other 5% of the ingredients.

A great place to do a search on a specific ingredient or body product is at the Skin Deep Website

You should be able to recognize most of the ingredients on the label. If there’s anything on the list you can’t pronounce, keep looking.

While it may require some searching, there are legitimate 100% organic body products out there that can do your body a world of good.

Truly organic and natural products are often a bit more expensive than their more common counterparts.

However, their effectiveness usually requires less product to be used on a daily basis.

Besides, the peace of mind it buys is priceless!
