Many countries have strict consumer safety regulations to protect consumers from consuming harmful products. These agencies often certify cultivated products as organic. The United States uses USDA certification through the National Organic Program to define products as organic. According to USDA, in order for a product to be considered organic, several standards must be met. The National List of Allowed and Prohibited Substances details synthetic and non-synthetic substances that can be used in the process of producing organic products.Operations involving these organic products must be “protecting natural resources, conserving biodiversity, and using only approved substances.

Organic food products are grown under a system of agriculture without the use of harmful chemical fertilizers and pesticides with an environmentally and socially responsible approach. This is a method of farming that works at grass root level preserving the reproductive and regenerative capacity of the soil, good plant nutrition, and sound soil management, produces nutritious food rich in vitality which has resistance to diseases.

USA use USDA certification, India uses India Organic certification NPOP (National Program for Organic Production).

A personal care product can be deemed organic if it contains agricultural ingredients and can meet the USDA organic production standards. Once certified by the USDA it can fall into one of four categories: “100 percent organic”, “organic”, “made with organic ingredients”, or “made with less than 70 percent organic ingredients.”^[8] personal care product can only claim they are USDA-certified organic if they meet the qualifications of the USDA.
