Which of the benefits of certified organic practices most resonates with you?
Maybe it’s a matter of health for you and your family. Certified organic foods can be more nutritionally dense that non-organic counterparts, as well as reducing dietary exposure to pesticides and their associated health risks. Strict standards are in place around permitted ingredients and practices, so you can be sure that what you’re purchasing is truly organic.
Perhaps you’re interested in supporting organic due to the environmental benefits, as organic farms have lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and higher soil carbon. More carbon in our soil means less in our atmosphere.
Or, it could be that you’re searching for skincare options that are produced with natural ingredients and do not use potentially harmful substances like parabens and synthetics dyes.
