Labels on cosmetics and body care products are a tough code to crack. The industry is so shockingly unregulated that it's usually impossible to trust the claims that manufacturers place on their products. A word such as "natural" can be used by anyone for anything. Even "organic" is misleading. Companies are supposed to use an organic label only if all ingredients are certified-organic, but they can also say it's "made with organic" if it contains a minimum of 70 percent certified-organic ingredients. Regardless, 30 percent still leaves a lot of room for toxins.
