The word ‘organic’ has become a common word in our daily vocabulary and can be used in various contexts (we know, you had an organic connection with your bestie at first site!)

When it comes to actual physical products however, the word “organic” refers to materials or ingredients that are produced and/or grown according to a defined set of guidelines that ensure they don’t harm the environment. (Check out our blog on this topic for all of the details, with a quick recap below!)

“Organic” of food or farming methods is define as being produced or involving production without the use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, or other artificial agents.1

In order for a product to use “Organic” on their label, it must meet a strict set of standards set by the USDA in order to receive their certification and the permission to use their seal.

Why source organic products? OnlyOrganic.org2 outlines it perfectly:

  1. It helps combat climate change! Organic farming keeps soil healthy and retains photosynthesized carbon dioxide instead of releasing it back into the atmosphere.
  2. Organic food is grown without pesticides – so that’s fewer toxic chemicals you’re consuming!
  3. Organic farming has been found improve the quality of its soil over time3 whereas conventional farming has been found to cause soil erosion, a loss in biodiversity and increased water pollution due to the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides.4
