Is this oil usda certified organic? If not, how can buyers be assured that it is?

Well it says on the label this is from mexico. This particular plant originates down south here in the US and I would guess mexico also.I read somewhere that organic is not the important factor with jojoba oil. That organic doesn't say much about quality. More important is unrefined, cold pressed, virgin (first pressed). Haven't bought this brand yet, but based on reviews, it seems like the description from the seller rings true, that its top grade stuff.

There are international certifying agencies that are used for these types of products. If the product is certified by an approved agency before it arrives in the US then it can meet USDA standards for labeling. There are many imported products from other countries that are considered organic.

I always look to see if it is certified organic but since I no longer have the container that the coconut came in, I can't look to see if it says "usda". Sorry.I saw on the label listed online that it is packed in California USA and grown in the Philipines, if this helps.

It does NOT state that it is "certified" only that it is "100% Pure Organic" so my guess is that it's not certified.

Hi, the bottle says 100% organic, but I don't know if that automatically means USDA certified.

Hi Sargoli, thank you for your question, it's an important one. It's easy for anyone to claim to be organic, especially online. Our supplier is certified organic, however we can't display the certified organic logo until our product labelling goes through the same process. We just launched this product and so are in the process of getting the certification, and expect to have that within the next month. We can send you the certification from our supplier if you would like that assurance, until we have ours on the package. Thank-you again for your question, I hope you'll give our product a try. - Gerry UPDATE Mar 26, 2014: being new to the organic certification process, naive us discovered there is a mountain trail of paperwork and steps to follow. Who knew? This is going to take a few more months still, and much time, unfortunately. Double discouraging given the supplier is already certified, makes one wonder the value in these detailed processes.

Well just noticing the one on this picture doesn't have it. However it says organic cocnut. I have organic virgin coconut oil unrefined and it does have the usda label on it. Hope that helped a little. Check to see if yours is reg organic coconut or if it says virgin coconut

i would assume that it is not certified organic, as the label does not say it is certified organic (at least on the container I have).

Yes, it's USDA organic. Any time you see that green stamp with USDA organic it's not GMO. It also taste great!

The package only says USDA Organic. You'd need to look up the certification procedure to see if that means nonGMO.

I'm looking at the bottle right now but I don't see a USDA symbol on it . Although I also don't recall the manufacture making any claims of certification either . I know this ; I personally use this product and am always satisfied with it . I hope my answer helps .

I'm not sure. It doesn't say anything about it being certified organic on the bottle.

It is Quality Assurance International Organic. According to this website, that is USDA approved Organic. http://www.qai-inc.com/about/usda_nop.asp

Taken from their website: "All of our oils are certified to be 100% pure and natural, of the highest quality and free from any chemicals or pesticides. Although all of our products are of premium quality, not all of the oils are certified organics. We do sell a small number of certified organic oils. They can be found here: http://planttherapy.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=224"

Thanks for your question Maria! Yes, our organically produced argan oil is certified USDA Organic. As another measure of it's purity, our argan oil has a unique Eco Cert certification number.
