Organic Soap: What the Label Really Means

Organic Soap for Daily Use: 2026 Buyer's Guide

"Organic" is a popular word on soap labels. But what does it actually mean? Here's a simple guide.

What Organic Means

An organic ingredient was grown without most synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, following rules set by the government.

The Labels You Might See

  • "Organic" with the USDA seal: at least 95% of the ingredients are certified organic.
  • "Made with organic ingredients": at least 70% are organic, but no USDA seal on the front.
  • Organic ingredients listed: some ingredients are organic, but not enough for the label.

If a soap says "organic" with no details, it's worth asking what that means.

Is Organic Always Better?

Not always. Organic is about how the plants were grown. It doesn't tell you if a soap is gentle, sulfate-free, or right for your skin. A non-organic soap with good ingredients can be wonderful for your skin.

How We Do It

We're honest about our labels. We don't call our soaps organic. What we do promise is that every bar has shea butter, coconut milk and kaolin clay, and no sulfates.

Some of our products do use organic ingredients. Our Bath Truffle is made with raw organic cocoa butter, and our Velvet Kiss Lip Polish uses organic cane sugar.

What Matters Most for Daily Soap

  • It doesn't dry out your skin.
  • You can read and understand the ingredients.
  • It lasts in your shower.
  • You love the way it smells.

Our Tip

Focus on how a soap makes your skin feel. That's the best label of all.
