Qualities

Fair Trade ▸ x The farmers or workers who produced the product, its ingredients, and/or parts have been justly compensated for their work. Fair Trade certification is available from Fair Trade USA. Did you know? In 1988, coffee became the first product to receive official fair trade certification—further proof that everything worthwhile starts with a good cup of joe. It takes a lot of people to monitor this growing arena; there are currently 1,030 fair trade certified organizations working to ensure fair trade standards in 67 countries around the globe. Hungry for fair trade? You’re not alone. Food accounts for most fair trade imports. Based on paid premiums, coffee, cocoa, and fresh produce top the list. The first fair trade store in the U.S. opened in 1958. Consumers think fair trade is more than fair. In 2010, global sales hit almost $4.4 billion—a great thing for 3rd world farmers and artisans.	Paraben Free ▸ x No parabens, antibacterial chemical preservatives linked to cancer, endocrine disruption, neurological and immune effects, and other disorders. Did you know? Parabens are synthetic preservatives. There are many natural ways to preserve products without them. The FDA says parabens are the most widely used cosmetic and personal care preservatives. You may see them listed on labels as methylparaben, propylparaben and butylparaben. Parabens have been found in breast tumors but the FDA says they don’t cause cancer. Some of the preservatives used to replace parabens—including formaldehyde—are no safer for human health. Reading labels is always wise.
Fragrance Free ▸ x No added synthetic or natural fragrance agents or scents. Some unscented products may have a slight scent created by their other ingredients. Did you know? If you see the word “fragrance” on an ingredient list, this is just a placeholder. Fragrances are actually considered trade secrets, which means manufacturers don’t have to say what, exactly, they’re made from. So they don’t, but the mix of possibilities isn’t pretty. The National Academy of Sciences says that synthetic fragrances are neurotoxins that need serious study. Fragrances frequently contain toxic ingredients like phthalates. Natural essential oils are a far safer substitute. According to European authorities, one in every 50 people may suffer immune system damage from exposure to fragrances.	Petroleum Free ▸ x No ingredients derived from petroleum or petrochemicals. Did you know? Petroleum is used to make lipsticks shine, cream smooth, and to create a barrier on skin, among other things. When reading labels in an effort to avoid petroleum in your personal care products, don’t look for the word petroleum. It’s rarely listed this way. Keep an eye out for paraffin wax, mineral oil, petrolatum, and propylene glycol. Many scents and fragrances are also petroleum-derived. Proponents of avoiding petroleum in personal care products say it disrupts the way the body naturally detoxifies by not letting the skin breathe. Some say it also slows cell renewal rate and ages skin.
GMO Free ▸ x No genetically modified or engineered organisms or ingredients derived from them. Claim can be verified by the Non-GMO Project. Did you know? Surveys show that over 90% of Americans think GM foods should be labeled. 53% say they wouldn’t buy food that’s been genetically modified. The thing is, most of us are already buying GM foods. 80% of processed foods contain GMOs and 88% of all U.S. corn, 95% of sugar beets, and 94% of our soy is genetically modified. Unlike the U.S., Most countries have just said no to GMOs. Nearly 50 have banned or significantly restricted GM crops. Just five nations grow 90% of the world’s GM crops: Argentina, Brazil, Canada, India, and the U.S. Most GMOs are altered to resist herbicides or bugs. One type of corn makes its own pesticides. Those pesticides are now showing up inside people.	Post-Consumer Recycled ▸ x The product or some of its materials have been produced from paper, plastic, or glass that consumers previously used and recycled.
Minority-Owned Business ▸ x The company producing the product is owned either wholly or in significant majority part by a minority person or persons. Did you know? The U.S. government has mandates in place that certain of its departments must award a percentage of contracts to minority-owned businesses. Some large corporations have goals in place to buy from minority-owned suppliers. Minority-owned businesses can get certified by the National Minority Supplier Development Council (NMSDC). This helps connect them to private-sector buyers.	Supports a Developing Country ▸ x Significant proceeds from the sale of the product support the economy of the developing country of origin via payment or other means. Did you know? The definition of a developing or developed country is largely based on things like GDP, standard of living, and per capita income, but there are no specific qualifications. Some are worse off than others. The World Bank defines developing countries as those with a gross national income per capita of less than $11,905. Some people don’t like the term “developing country” and prefer to use other language, like “least developed countries.”
Natural ▸ x Though natural has no government or official definition, we value the word. Greatly. To us it means purer, safer, from the earth. And that's not marketing hype, we promise. Our sellers do, too.	Vegan ▸ x A form of vegetarianism. No animal products are eaten, including dairy, eggs, and honey. Many vegans also avoid non-edible animal products like fur, leather, and wool. Did you know? Veganism doesn’t just affect what happens in your kitchen. It can also reduce your carbon footprint by 1.5 tons per year! Despite many worthy advantages, veganism has yet to win any popularity contests. Only 1.4% of American adults have decided to bite. Babies like it, too; vegan breast milk tests show it contains significantly lower levels of pollutants like pesticides and dioxins than non-vegan breast milk.
No Artificial Ingredients	Vegetarian ▸ x A diet that excludes meat products and their derivatives, but can include eggs, dairy and other animal-sourced foods Did you know? Americans are definitely eating their veggies: 46% say they eat vegetarian meals though only 4% say they are full-time vegetarians. A “flexitarian” is someone who has adopted a vegetarian diet, but only part time. Going whole hog is a good idea. Vegetarian diets have been linked to reduced obesity, coronary disease, blood pressure, diabetes, and cancer risk. Vegetarians have more time to enjoy their food than the rest of us; vegetarian diets are said to add 13 years to the average human lifespan!
Organic ▸ x Products produced fully or primarily without employment of chemically formulated fertilizers, growth stimulants, antibiotics, or pesticides. Better for the planet? Yup. Better for you? You bet.	Woman-Owned Business ▸ x The company producing the product is owned either wholly or in significant majority part by a woman or women. Did you know? Between 1997 and 2007, the number of women-owned businesses grew twice as fast as those started by men. A victory in the battle of the sexes? Still a ways to go... While women own 30% of privately held businesses, they’re only responsible for 13% of the sector’s employment. Women business owners do far more with much less. Studies show that they typically start with less capital than their male counterparts. They still manage to supply paychecks to 7.6 million employees. 7.2 million businesses in the U.S. are majority-owned by women.
