There are lots of logos on the sides of beauty and personal care products, and it can be hard to discern what's legit and what's pure marketing. Two marks are definitely worth looking for: the USDA certified organic mark, which means at least 95% of the ingredients used in the product are made from organic ingredients and the rest are nontoxic or all-natural; and an "NSF" mark, which means that at least 70% of the ingredients used are certified organic. NSF International is an independent global organization that works with the USDA to provide quality assurance.
