All bar soaps, and most skin care products, fall short

Here's the link:

Interesting read.

I usually buy my soaps at WholeFoods. They are mainly "organic" handcut soaps.
Can't wait to make my own

There's USDA Certified Organic and ECOCERT. You can list the ingredients in the INCI as organic (I believe), however, you cannot claim "organic soap" or "made with organic ingredients" unless you are certified by the USDA.

Here's a blurb from the USDA specifically about organic claims in the personal care industry in Aug 2009: http://www.ams.usda.gov/AMSv1.0/getfile ... RDC5079488
A public draft for comment by the USDA in July 2009: http://www.ahpa.org/portals/0/pdfs/09_0 ... e.Soap.pdf

Here's a quick blurb about it from a third party: http://www.essentialoilsreview.com/organic-soap/

NOP (USDA) certification information: http://www.ams.usda.gov/AMSv1.0/getfile ... nopgeninfo
