What makes a product organic?

Organics are usually defined as fruits and veggies grown without pesticides and harsh chemicals. Nonorganic products contain man-made chemicals like surfactants, parabens, and petrolatum. Organic products use natural substitutes so that the products will work and still be earth-friendly.

Here are some examples:

1. Davies Gate Sugar Plum Warming Shave Cream
2. Aubrey Organics Spring Floral and Light Citrus Floral Eau de Parfum
3. Nvey Eco Lipstick
4. Perx Organix Mint Towelettes
5. Origins Nourishing Oil for Hair
6. Organic Bath Co. Sea Mineral Bath Soak
7. Collective Wellbeing Moisturizing Shampoo
8. von Natur Absolute Facial Toner
