The top organic beauty products
- The top organic beauty productsBy Laura VogelBeauty products made with organic ingredients—free of man-made pesticides and fertilizers—have moved out of the tree-hugger fringe and into the spotlight, yet shopping for them can be confusing. The USDA has three personal-care-product labels: 100 percent organic, organic (95 percent organic) and made with organic ingredients (at least 70 percent organic). Obtaining certification is costly, so some lines contain a high percentage of organics, even if they don't bear the USDA label.http://static.glo.com/photos/Original/138593_Original.jpg
