The USDA standard states that a product must be made of 95-100% organic ingredients in order to bear the USDA Certified Organic seal. Since all of our sunscreens contain at least 10% of the mineral zinc oxide, the products cannot be certified organic by the National Organic Program. Even though we can't label it as organic, we still use USDA Certified Organic ingredients whenever possible (listed with an asterisk (*) in the ingredient panel), and we list the % organic ingredients on the front of the label, a method which is certified by QAI to the NSF/ANSI 305 Organic Standard (the most rigorous organic standard for personal care)
