Here are some definitions as a guide. Take note that there is no single standard for “natural” or for “organic” cosmetics. In theory, a natural or organic cosmetic contains nothing synthetic.

• Natural refers to ingredients derived from plants, minerals, or algae
• Organic describes substances grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, and processed without man-made chemicals
• Natural -- Some of the ingredients come from nature (non-synthetic).
• All Natural -- All of the ingredients come from nature.
• Made with Organic Ingredients -- The majority of the ingredients meet an "organic" standard, typically meaning that no synthetic pesticides are used in growing ingredients and that farming methods stress conservation.
• Organic -- Almost all of the ingredients meet an "organic" standard.
• 100 Percent Organic -- All of the ingredients meet an "organic" standard.

The ‘natural’ ingredients are unaltered, untreated, are not artificial and have nature as the ingredients’ source.
