What does organic mean?

Here at Solace Essentials, our aim is to provide you with bodycare that smells good, works well and feels good. This is what makes us stand out from others.

But, why do we care so much?

Many bodycare products available on the market today claim that they're natural and yet that is not the whole truth.

**NEWS FLASH**
Just because a product says that it's organic, doesn't mean it's ALL organic. There may only be one ingredient that's organic. Is this ethical? Depends on who you ask. It's not inaccurrate to say that a product is organic if it has one organic ingredient. But, I do think it's unethical beause a normal customer like us would think that the WHOLE product is organic.

What does this mean for me?

Become a label reader! Read the label and if the ingredient is organic, the label should state this. If it's not, you will be able to see that, and move on. If the company is up on the latest USDA standards, they will tell you what percent organic and natural the product is. The USDA only has so much time in the day. If they come across a label that says it's organic when it's not above the required 87%, they will ask the manufacturer to change the label and remove the product from the shelves. However, this rarely happens currently since there's so many manufacturers. Someday, this will be more regulated.

For now, once again, become educated on the ingredients that you like in your bodycare products. Read the labels and understand what it all means. What goes on your skin goes in, so it's important to know what you're putting in your body - the more natural and organic (pesticide free) the better!

Solace Essentials uses all natural and organic ingredients where ever possible! If it exists, we are using it, in terms of Natural and Organic! We are in the process of obtaining our USDA Organic certification, so you will see this on our labels soon.
