ECOCERT

ECOCERT is a certification body for organic products, founded in France in 1991. Its headquarters are in Europe, and it provides certification in more than 80 countries, which makes it the largest certification organization worldwide. Its founder and director is William Vidal. It began as a partnership among EU member states and gradually expanded to many other countries across the globe. ECOCERT primarily certifies food, cosmetics, detergents, perfumes, and textiles. The company audits around 70% of the organic food industry in France and about 30% worldwide. It is also a leading authority for certifying fair trade food, cosmetics, and textiles...

Certified Naturally Grown

“Farmers who had proudly described their produce as organic for decades could no longer do so after 21 October 2002 unless they obtained certification from a USDA accredited agency. Today, most farmers who grow organically are not certified by the USDA. That ought not to be decisive, except that the law states a farmer may not describe or label a product as ‘organic’ not even as ‘uncertified organic’ unless they are certified by a USDA approved agency.”

What exactly is organic food, and is it worth the price?

Modest fines and the steady stream of new organic products appearing on the market may lead one to wonder whether the authorities devote enough time to verifying that what is promised on the label is truly inside the package. It also raises the question of whether the term "organic" has drifted into little more than a marketing slogan.

Fair Trade Products and Certification

How many products that claim to be organic truly are? Many brands have refreshed their labels, yet have they changed their practices?

Myrrh Tincture

It is renowned for its tissue toning properties and for reinforcing immune resilience in the blood, particularly in cases of inflammation in the mouth and on the palate.

Lanolin

Lanolin is a water resistant, nourishing wax of animal origin that is obtained from sheep’s wool.

It serves primarily as a protective barrier, which is why it is applied to sensitive skin that is prone to irritation. It helps shield infants from diaper rash, and it cares for areas where adult skin folds and rubs.

It is used in the production of creams made by the cold process.

It provides hair with excellent protection and a healthy shine, and it forms a protective layer around each strand.

It is very effective at preventing moisture loss from the skin.

Clay (Green or White)

It gently strengthens tooth enamel and helps remove dental plaque, thanks to the mineral complex found in clay.

Clay does not act as an abrasive. Together with other ingredients, it cleanses, revitalizes, and helps prevent tooth decay and cavities.
