I use to work as an inspector with USDA and know first hand about USDA organic certification. It is very costly to gain organic certification as several managers charge there extensive time to trace every element back to the tree it was grown on. That price is added to the product and the consumer pays dearly for it. I also new of a woman who sold the organic fruits and vegetables she grew on her farm. She has never used pesticides or genetically modified seed. I know her product is organic and do not need her to pass on the high price of certification for those delectable treasures. I believe Organic Creations. Every product that I have used of theirs smell and feels terrific. There is no perfume after taste after breathing what I have put on my skin. My skin is loving their products, I can just tell that they are organic. I prefer paying the lower prices that do not include certification costs.
