What is the difference between "Organic" and non organic version? PT claims they do not use pestidies so why two different lines of same product?

All of Plant Therapy's essential oils are 100% pure, free from any additives or adulterants. We work very close with our suppliers to provide oils that come from organically grown plants. This is the case with most of our oils except our citrus oils. That being said, we only carry a small line of "organic" oils. We purchase our organic oils as "certified organic", but since Plant Therapy is not a certified organic reseller (we are in the process of getting certified now) we do not have the correct certification that is necessary to label our oils "certified organic through the USDA". If this official certification is important to you, Plant Therapy should be officially a certified reseller the beginning of August.

According to Rohan, it's totally organic without pesticides. I suggest you to watch his 10 minute video on Youtube about this coffee. :)

I called the company after I received the box of seeds and they are the ones who supply to Bobs Red Mill. They come from Mexico, but the box also came with a certificate showing the lab analysis and the breakdown of the product contents. They state they have no pesticides,etc. and when I talked with the company the gentleman stated they were indeed organic. I've been using this box for quite some time and all is well. But price for price it's about the same as you would pay from Wegman's whole foods section. The best part is the grocery store doesn't provide a lab analysis, but the Chosen Foods company does. They are wholesalers and supply to many companies. Hope this helps with info you need to make a realistic decision.

Organic is always NON GMO, its the NON GMO That is not always organic. Non gmo only can still have pesticides but organic can have neither. This company is Defiantely Non Gmo and Organic, and the product is Lovely! just Pure Lavender flowers no fillers.

This product is not labelled as 'organic.' or not genetically modified. Heck, I'm happy it's not made by General Mills. Don't you think we should worry more about the working conditions of the migrant workers who are slaving away to keep this stuff on our table? Moreover, it's just wheat germ milled by Bob and his migrant workers. A lot of Bob's products are certified as USDA Organic. The wheat germ is not one of them. But Bob appears to be a good guy, so you should buy it anyhow and hope for the best.

this company got a rating E. Twinings teas all got an A, the highest rating. Celestial, specifically sleeptime teas, were found to have a dangerous level of pesticides. this is news to me....i LOVE this stuff and was just about to buy a crap load of it. but here you go: http://www.examiner.com/article/dangerously-high-pesticide-levels-found-celestial-seasonings-teas

After reading about the toxicity of the ingredients, I never used it. I went for DEET instead, although not so great for us as well. There are natural insect repellants.

I spoke with the manufacturer of this product and they stated that their preparations guarantee the indicated bacterial count. In other words production involves a 'bug count' of more than content information in case of loss during shipment or anytime not refrigerated. I have also found no difference in using either store bought or those shipped to my home.

SS, This has nothing to do with something being "banned". The bottom line is that most any "real" pesticide will have a federally issued EPA registration number. These numbers signify that a product is both safe for use where listed on its label and that the material will actually control the listed pests it claims it can control on its label. Now once a product gets approved and is granted a federal number, it still needs to be registered in each state. And though most states charge a nominal fee for this registration process, some charge more. A lot more. And some states take it a step further and might decide they don't think a product is "okay" or safe enough for use so they won't allow it to be registered. So in the end, just because a product comes to market and is granted a federal EPA number, it does not mean it can automatically be sold in every state. In fact I know this particular product isn't registered in some states so this would be the reason its not available at this time. Cheers, Jonathan Customer Care U-Spray Bugspray

I went to their website and saw nothing about being organically grown. I see nothing about their farming process, in fact. As I commented below to another poster, it's great that these are non-GMO, but nothing about being organically grown.

I don't know that it would be organic but it is considered a safe insecticide when considering toxic chemicals. It is an organism from the ground and I don't know if they do anything special to the ground that it comes from or if it is even grown in earth for manufacturing purposes. It is used in organic farming.

When you open both sites for original finishing spray and 10 years younger you will see that both have the same ingredients. IMO it is only marketing with different names but product is the same. Unless there is mistake in listing, the best would be to get both kinds and compare in person.

Hmm..not sure I understand. I cud read you the label. There is nothing mentioned about insects! Should there be ? I presume you are joking.. It just looks like a clean, non junk food product..and its good! Lori

It's a good question but the USDA seal carries no merit. The regulations for "USDA organic" are the same as for regular, pesticide-laced products. The truth is you don't know if it's organic. I researched the company and found that the administrators seem reputable. I trust in the character of people. If you need the USDA seal, find another product that bears that.

There are two different products. One organic and the other is not. The organic one cost a little more

The diatomaceous earth is only 77.69% of the mixture, the other 22.31% is "other" unspecified ingredients. The label DOES say it is BAITED Insect Control Powder. The front label has the "KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN" thing. The back label on the right side at very top reads "Precautionary Statements - HAZARDS TO HUMANS & DOMESTIC ANIMALS. Caution: moderate eye irritation. Avoid contact with eyes. Avoid breathing dust. Use adequate ventilation. Wear suitable dusty mask when using this product during prolonged exposure." The "Starage & Disposal" says, "Do not contaminate water, food or feed by storage or disposal." The next line reads "PESTICIDE Storage - Store in cool dry area away from heat or open flame and inaccessible to children and pets." There is even a warning not to reuse the container. Also from personal experience you Do Not want to expose electronics or polished plastic surfaces - it will damage the inside of electronics & ruin the finish on some plastic surfaces. There IS "food grade" 100% diatomaceous earth, but this product IS NOT it. Although it makes up the majority, whatever the "other" ingredients are qualifies it as a pesticide. If you want food grade make sure it plainly states it, it's not baited & it doesn't have warnings or pesticide storage & disposal cautionary statements.

One is short-hand for Sambucus nigra, the plant that produces the fruit. The other is a branded extract and processing of that fruit. As with any natural organic product, the quality of the raw material and the way it is handled and processed makes a big difference; certainly in taste, but also probably the concentrations of the bio active components. Think "Merlot Grape Vine" versus, say Blankiet 2004 Napa Valley Merlot.
