Miessence Certified Organic Products

What Is Organic?

Organic refers to food grown without synthetic pesticides, insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, hormones, fertilizers or other synthetic or toxic substances for a three-year minimum. No artificial flavors or colors have been added. Organic certification excludes foods that have been irradiated as well as GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms).

In October 2002 the U.S. Department of Agriculture passed a new national standard for organic labeling, which includes three classifications. If the label says:

1. 100% Organic. The product contains only organically produced ingredients. It may bear the USDA Organic seal.
2. Organic. The product contains at least 95% organic ingredients. The USDA Organic seal may be used.
3. Made with Organic Ingredients. Contains at least 70% organic ingredients. The product does not qualify to carry the USDA organic seal.

Unfortunately, many product in the beauty and hygiene industry use the words "Natural" and "Organic" when in fact the ingredients are loaded with pesticides and other toxic substances and have little therapeutic value. Those products often rely on chemicals to artificially make you feel or look better, which, in the long run, can actually do the opposite.

Protect yourself from beauty products that contain toxic and carcinogenic ingredients. The following book will arm you with knowledge of the ingredients used in most cosmetic, skincare and personal care products:

Chlorine and Hair - "One out of every two clients coming into the salon has chlorine damage to their hair," says Vancouver's top hairdresser Derek London, "It's almost the same as oxidation from peroxide burning, except chlorine adds density to the hair. You see a lot of breakage and splitting. The chlorine makes hair shiny like fiberglass. Hair tangles when it's shampooed and becomes difficult to comb."
