GREENWASHING-don’t believe the
hype!
 Companies mislead consumers by listing
botanical extracts, or 'aqueous infusions' (which
are just weak teas) at the top of the ingredient
list.
 Hiding the synthetic surfactant ingredients that
make up the core of the product further down the
list.
 The substantial water component of the herbal
mixture as organic is incorrectly counted as
'organic', which is prohibited under International
Organic Standards. This practice artificially
inflates the organic content in order to make a
deceptive 70% organic claim.
