I"m not sure to be honest..I used it and well...can't really say I saw much difference only because I didn't start out with any wrinkles in the first place, was more of a prevention from it.

You should check out the USDA website because it states the FDA does not define or regulate the term "organic," as it applies to cosmetics, bodycare, or personal care products. The company can request the USDA/NOP certify its product as "organic" so that it can use the USDA organic seal.

Yes. This is USDA Certified Organic product. Quoting from USDA website - "Organic food is produced without using most conventional pesticides; fertilizers made with synthetic ingredients or sewage sludge; bioengineering; or ionizing radiation."

In order to qualify for the USDA Organic Shield: USDA organic products have strict production and labeling requirements, and organic products must meet the following requirements: * Produced without excluded methods,(e.g., genetic engineering), ionizing radiation, or sewage sludge. Policy on genetically modified organisms* Produced per the National List of Allowed and Prohibited Substances (National List).* Overseen by a USDA National Organic Program-authorized certifying agent, following all USDA organic regulations. I am not sure how the material coming from Sri Lanka meets these standards, however. The product description on Amazon says 100% Organic.

The product is made in an FDA approved facility. It does not mean this product is FDA-approved.

Hi Tom, thanks for your interest in our seeds. The seeds are organic heirloom seeds, non gmo, non hybrid, open pollinated...they aren't USDA certified.

it only says organic on the bag. no usda certification. sometimes these smaller farms cannot afford the certification. ToddsSeeds.com may have more info. Hope this helps.

John, my best answer is that all of Frontier's products are certified USDA organic. They are also more than 95% free of MGO's. I hope this answers your question. If you have any further questions or wish to double check you can google Frontier. You can call them or you can read the "Questions most asked" page. Good luck!

China. It could be that the importer/distributor has obtained the USDA certification, or, it could be a complete prevarication.

Yes. By definition USDA Organic Certification does not allow the use of GMO's. For more information, read this: http://www.ams.usda.gov/AMSv1.0/getfile?dDocName=STELDEV3004446&acct;=nopgeninfo

if it has the USDA Organic seal on it then I trust it because to have that seal, you have to go through a pretty strict application process. The term "Organic" is legally defined and contrary to what the other poster said, cannot be "watered down" by big companies. The seal will tell you who certified it as organic. USDA Organic is as good as it gets, but I appreciate that they went through both the Oregon Tilth and USDA certification processes. This is why I chose this product over the others. On the other hand, if you see the word "natural," that has no legal meaning and can be bandied about by big companies as much as they want. if it has the USDA Organic seal on it then I trust it because to have that seal, you have to go through a pretty strict application process.

I don't see the USDA sign in it. But, it is the real shea butter. I know that because I'm from where it is produced. Buy it with peace of mine.

The package I received is the same as the photo. No USDA Organic label on it.

I have just learned if it does not have the "USDA ORGANIC" seal on the package then it may not be. I found the produce by "HERBS India" does have the seal. I like their produce much better. It a fine powder with far less grit.

Certified Organic / USDA Organic: At least 95 percent of content is organic by weight (excluding water and salt). The <5% remaining ingredients must consist of substances approved on the USDA's National List. GMOs are NOT on this list, so USDA Organic products are also usually GMO-free.

Hello Sarah Belviso, I did not see USDA certified organic on the container I received and checked the website that was listed on the label but did not see anything that said USDA certified there either. All I saw was "NetPatrol" certified on the website. Here is the website: http://www.essentialdepot.com/ I even called them directly on 1-866-840-2495 but the operator was not able to answer that question so she told me to send an email to: Techdept@essentialdepot.com Hopefully they will respond to you quickly with additional information.

The answer is that they are not USDA certified. They are very quality oriented, but can not file for a certification because the costs are too high. As for the quality of the vegetables... You can taste the difference. If you are looking for great seed, they are your best bet. If looking for certified only, they are sorry that they can not get certified.
