PERSONAL CARE COMPANIES WITH ONE OR MORE PRODUCTS MEETING THE USDA FOOD GRADE ORGANIC STANDARDS:

Please note that other than those noted, not all of the products provided by the following companies are USDA Organic. Please look for the seal on any product! If you know of a USDA organic personal care product that is not listed here, please contact us via the link at the foot of this page. Thanks.

• Aubrey (note: we do not support the use of the word "Organic" in this company's name, as only a few of the products are USDA Organic. Look for the USDA seal)
• Dr. Bronner's Magic Soaps (some of the soaps are organic and the Sundog lipbalm productline is organic)
• Grateful Body
• ONE Group (Miessence Certified Organics product line)
  
• **ORGANIC ESSENCE** (This is one of the few companies we know where the entire product line is USDA Organic)
• Sensibility Soaps ( Nourish product line)
• Terressentials
• Trillium Organics
• Vermont Soap Organics

Other product lines may contain organic ingredients, but their primary ingredients (surfactant and/or preservative) are not organic. If you are a company with true USDA certified organic skin or hair cleansing products that feels you should be on this list, please contact us.
