Why should I be concerned with the difference? Read the labels of your current products. Do you know what each item listed is? There is a good chance the many of the foods you eat, lotions, soaps, and cleaning supplies contain a great deal of carcinogens (agents that cause cancer.) Carcinogens can be absorbed into the body through the skin, air, and food.
What is Natural? The industry definition of "natural" is "Any ingredient 'derived from' a Natural Substance. What does that mean? it means that to create cocoamide DEA from coconut oil requires the use of the carcinogenic synthetic chemical diethanolamine (DEA.) This means that "from coconut oil" means that it is NOT coconut oil, but rather a carcinogen due to the processing of the oil. Don't be mislead by the term "natural."
What is Organic? The industry definition of "organic" is "grown, cultivated and processed without the use of synthetic chemicals such as insecticides, herbicides and fumigants." This term can also be misleading as some toxic chemicals such as methyl paraben are organic because it was formed by leaves that rotted over thousands of years to become the crude oil used to make this preservative.
What is Certified Organic? Certified Organic is important because it means that an independent third party is closely monitoring the growth and processing chain to maintain the integrity of the label including seed, growth, harvesting, storage, transporting, and processing all the way to the finished product to be sure it does not contain any chemicals, or chemical processes.
