Natural, Organic & Certified Organic – What is the Difference?
What is Natural?
ONE Group’s definition
of Natural: Existing in, or formed by nature; not artificial.
The Cosmetic Industry definition of
Natural: Any ingredient 'derived from' a natural substance.
With so many 'natural' products in the market, how can we tell
the real thing? We often see long chemical names followed by the
phrase "derived from coconut oil". For instance, to create
cocoamide DEA from coconut oil requires the use of the carcinogenic
synthetic chemical diethanolamine (DEA).
It is therefore no longer natural and to imply it is a natural
substance by adding the phrase "from coconut oil" is
at best misleading. Vodka is derived from potatoes, but it doesn't
mean it's good for you!
What is Organic?
ONE Group’s definition
of Organic: Grown, cultivated and processed without the
use of synthetic chemicals such as insecticides, herbicides and
fumigants.
The Cosmetic Industry definition of
Organic: Any compound containing carbon.
This above, Cosmetic Industry definition is the organic chemistry
definition. Carbon is found in anything that ever lived. So, by
using this definition of organic it could be said that the toxic
petrochemical preservative, methyl paraben is 'organic' because
it was formed by leaves that rotted over thousands of years to
become the crude oil to make this toxic preservative.
What is Certified Organic?
Certified Organic is an Independent third
party guarantee of integrity and purity.
Certified Organic products must comply with stringent International
standards. These highest standards cover all aspects of the processing
chain, to ensure that the organic integrity is maintained: from
seed, growing, harvesting, storage, transporting and processing
through to the finished product. Without Organic certification,
anyone can say their product is Organic and natural!
We are proud that Miessence skin care products bear the seal of
approval of the world’s most stringent certifying bodies. Organic
and Natural Enterprise Group (ONE Group) is committed to the
health and vitality of our customers and our planet. In sourcing
raw materials from sustainable agriculture, we respect, support
and nurture the ecology and energy of both our planet and our customers.

of the Miessence brand:

The Certified Organic seal on ONE Group’s products is your
guarantee of the authenticity and integrity of our declaration
of totally chemical-free products containing truly pure, organic
ingredients.
