Every ingredient in Clean George® Hand Purifier is naturally-derived (all the way down to the potassium sorbate), but most have other certifications, denoted by these logos:
|
ECOCERT is an organic certification organization, founded in France in 1991. It is based in Europe but conducts inspections in over 80 countries, making it one of the largest organic certification organizations in the world. |
|
The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is an international non-profit, multi-stakeholder organization established in 1993 to promote responsible management of the world’s forests. Its main tools for achieving this are standard setting, independent certification, and labeling of forest products. This offers customers around the world the ability to choose products from socially and environmentally responsible forestry. |
Please note that the Ecocert and FSC certifications apply to the individual ingredients, not to the entire product.
