Industry Standards for "Natural" Products


Folks, have you ever wondered just what the heck these companies mean when they call their product "natural?" Well, since there are currently no standards in place to help consumers determine for themselves just what this designation should cover, what are we to do?

It turns out that a number of of leading personal care suppliers and manufacturers have joined with the Natural Products Association to create such standards as well as a seal that will help consumers identify those products that fit the criteria.

According to them, products should be sporting this new designation along with a readily identifiable seal stating compliance with these new criteria. What do you folks think? Is this a good thing? Is it something that you feel is necessary? Is it not enough oversight?

For those of you more inquisitive readers, the link to access more information about this process is located below!
