Hi Mischo Beauty,

I just posted on standards-setting and certification activities for organic personal care products.

With reference to the comment by dominican enigma, vendors volunteer to participate in programs that allow them to label their products as "certified" according to rules of the certifying body. How much vendors pay for that privilege, I don't know. No doubt the costs are passed onto the consumer.

Thanks for the info about NOP. I might blog on your post. It seems, however, that participation in NOP is purely voluntary.

I have covered standards and certification for "natural" and organic personal care products on The Style Page. There are a plethora of standards-making and certification programs; clearly, an international standard is needed.

In Canada, there are no organic policies. If you want to put "organic" on one of your items, its a matter of choice. How crazy is that, especially since people pay more for items that are labeled organic.
