The product description reads "95 percent plus organic".... what is the other 5% and where does it come from?

Not sure. I mostly used this as a facial mask. I've since switched to a different brand.

To tell the truth I don't know. I mainly ordered it because it is Organic. I've already finished one bottle and was so impressed that I just purchased 2 more. It lasted me about a month or so.

It does not say that it's organic on the packaging, it does say it's 100% pure. Hope this helps you in a small way.

The label claims it is "organic", only. It does not say certified organic anywhere on the label.

I didn't know so I called the company. I was told 5%. If you look at the ingredients on the bottle, it is the 5th indgredient, which usually means it's down a ways on the amount - just thought I'd call to set your mind at ease - I LOVE IT!!!

It is 17.5% according to reports from reviewers who say the back label states it is diluted 50/50 with water, yielding a 17.5% dilution. Beware of sellers who misrepresent their products.

It says on the container that it is just organic but it is supplied through essential depot so you can call them at 866-840-2495 and ask them. :)

To a certain degree, yes. (Although some may say that it's not organic, so no.) Do not use more than 25 percent in the product you are making.

No idea. But my reasons for getting it were time-based, so I wasn't picky about it. I got one organic, and one not.

A couple of websites says it's 5% acetic acid, which is what you find in your local grocery store. Seems the 20% stuff is way more expensive and hard to find.

It is not labeled organic so that should be a red flag. Other than that I do not know.

Label states 100% naturally derived. 72% organic. I took a picture of the label but I can't post it from my phone. Hope this helps!

I looked at the jar and they don't list where it comes from and the only refrence to organic is the name of the company "organicsoverseas.com". Maybe their web site might have some answers.

I just double checked the package and NO WHERE does it say organic. I have to assume then that it is just natural.

I'm not sure that I can assume saying that this product is absolutely organic. I would say that some part of this product is organic but that's only my personal guess.
