Organic is a cool word. It means something has a bit of carbon in it (in chemistry lingo). USDA Organic means it can be up to 30% non-organic, which is a lot.
Technically, organic certification does not help an artisan who is using great sustainable methods and pure materials to begin with. Organic certifications in some countries can be purchased and they are too expensive to maintain for most artisans.
Some ingredients are simply impossible to certify, because they would not qualify under a definition of 'organic'. For instance, Katari flower waters cannot be certified organic, because they definitely contain more than 97% of non-carbon substance - water, which by definition excludes them. However, Katari roses are grown using organic farming methods.
Katari Argil (green clay) is also not organic certified. Even though it has plenty of carbon, it is a raw mineral and cannot be certified organic. Et voila! Best things out there don't have to be organic to be great for you.
