nothing to stop a company from using the word Natural on its product

even if this is not the case. Products only need to consist of one

per cent natural ingredients to be classed as a Natural product and

fifty per cent to be classed as Organic. So read the content of the

ingredients label to be assured that it contains Organic or Natural

ingredients as close to one hundred per cent as possible, any thing

that is seventy per cent or more is adequate. Consumers can also be

reassured by looking out for the Soil Association, Organic

Certified, Ecocert or Natural Ingredient Resource Centre symbols.

A: The Soil Association is a non profit organisation that develops standards for organic products. If a product carries their symbol then it means they have checked that it meets Soil Association standards. For more information on organic products please find link attached-
