Organoderm skin care products are USDA certified organic or Circle of Green certified or both, which makes these products safe for pregnant women and children. The USDA label confirms that no synthetic preservatives are present, while the Circle of Green label assures the consumer that no harmful chemicals are within the formulations.
"I was afraid to use any skin care products during my pregnancies," said Michelle Caldero. "I was concerned it would hurt my babies." The average woman uses 12 personal care products containing about 168 chemicals per day according to a survey from the Envirnomental Working Group, many of which are considered harmful by various governmental agencies. "I was happy to discover Organoderm products, and now I am using them on my children," continued Michelle, the mother of two young daughters.
The USDA has strict criteria for certification and allows products to display the USDA seal only if they contain 95% or more certified organic ingredients and no synthetic petrochemical byproducts. The Circle of Green prohibits a long list of harmful chemicals in products that it certifies. Their list is a compilation of several sources including the Environmental Protection Agency and is updated periodically.
"It was challenging to meet the strict criteria of these two certifying agencies, but it was important to me," said Dr. Edward Domanskis, a plastic surgeon who founded and developed the Organoderm skin care line. "I too wanted not only my wife but also my children to be safe in using my products."
Organoderm is sold exclusively through the internet, and its oversized products are reasonably priced from $12-$42, especially for a Doctor-developed and recommended brand.
I love all the Organoderm Products! I especially love the foaming cleanser and sugar scrub. They smell so wonderfully fresh. I love that someone has finally come up with an Organic line and it's reasonably priced.
