NSF standard for organic products
This article was originally published in The Rose Sheet
Executive Summary
The National Standards Foundation is accepting comments on its draft standard for organic personal-care products. The proposed standard consists of requirements for the labeling and marketing of organic personal-care products, as well as specifications for processes, production and agricultural and synthetic ingredients.
