Yje label says this is "processed." Are chemicals added? I am only interested in an organic product. Thanks.

After some research it says it has a bonding agent in it so it will stay in place once wet. What I found out from my search is the bonding agent is guar gum which is a natural procuct used in lots of food items. I use it around my wild strawberries and organic vegetables.

Hi---I checked the label on the bag and it describes the straw as cleaned and processed, which I believe just means probably washed and the seeds and dirt removed, but does list a "bonding agent" without saying what it is. When you put it down it's really light and fluffy but after you water it the straw kind of holds together so it doesn't blow away. The manufacturer would be able to tell you what it is.

I think the "processed" is the fact that the straw is chopped into smaller pieces. I don't know if chemicals have been added. It has worked well for me, but contained a lot of seeds from whatever grain the straw came from. I will try something else next year.

I know that their advertisements state organic so I suppose this is. I does not contain and preservatives or additives. I hope this helps.

It is not labeled organic so that should be a red flag. Other than that I do not know.

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.

also they do sell some organic product http://www.ysorganic.com/index.html but there non crystallized processed honey in this case doesn't make the grade for whatever reason

Yes it is. As far as I know the organic one is not processed with chemicals or uses sintetic dyes. I really liked mine and I m buying more.

Good question. I just took the manufacturers word that it's organic. Compared to the jojoba oil I used before, I know there is a SIGNIFICANT difference in the smell and texture. I also look at the results. Leven Rose jojoba oil has not broken me out one time and I have sensitive skin. I've been wearing it alone and under makeup for a month with no breakouts what so ever. I do believe that the product is organic. When I looked up the website, they talk about the process and how they press the oil. I hope this helps :)

The label says it is "natural." That has no meaning, legally. The label does NOT say it's organic, just fyi.

For some reason, Amazon has listed my purchase of Jojoba oil as Argan oil. Nonetheless, I assume the production for both is similar. From the answered questions section of the Jojoba product listing: "Okay, I contacted the company and this is what they said: "Our Jojoba oil is organic, but our facility is not certified USDA Organic. This is something we are working on, but it is a timely and costly process, so at the moment, all we can say is that it is organic. The plants are grown organically, and no chemicals are introduced in the extraction process, so the oil is 100% pure. I will take their word on it for this one. Especially since I've been reading through the reviews on this and people with sensitive skin are saying that it is pure. I have not tried the... Read More Annelle B. Secks answered on March 7, 2014:" I provided a comment there, as well, saying mostly that I'm impressed with the fact that the bottle and dropper are both made from glass rather than plastic. I am assuming that, because they spend more money on better packaging, they're also likely to be selling a higher-quality product. But I have no way of knowing for sure.

Sorry- it's not an issue for me, so I did not note that info. It is my belief however, that ingredients of the product are plant based.

I just double checked the package and NO WHERE does it say organic. I have to assume then that it is just natural.

Apparently this stuff doesn't do much for you or against youj. It seems to be an inert ingrediate. Why it's added, I haven't a clue.

It's NOT listed as organic, so I'd consider it as conventional product, meaning it's the generic conventional methods, which can contain hormones, pesticides, toxins, etc., even if it's all natural. All natural means it doesn't have chemical additives; it doesn't mean it's organic. If you need to be free of all these things, look for an organic product made in USA.

After much research, I chose this Spirulina powder and I put it in my morning shake. Although not technically organic, it was very close. The company's processing procedures are right on. Now, fast forward, I bought this product before I was aware of the huge pile of debris and radiation contamination coming into the Pacific coast line from the Japanese tsunami. Before assuming though, I would contact the company to see what measures they are taking concerning this and how it affects the product. In the mean time, I am ordering broccoli powders and wheat grass powders from another source. It turns out we are not allergic to wheat so this works out fine.

I tried to contact yerbaprima.com to find the answer and had a problem with their email contact form. You might try to contact them by snail mail at Yerba Prima, Inc., 740 Jefferson Ave., Ashland, OR 97520 USA. Nothing on the can that I can see tells how it is processed. Good luck finding out. It seems to be good stuff. My husband has me reorder it.

Theres nothing on the bottle'S label, that mentions cold press/ processed. So its not.

I hope not. Wouldn't that make it not raw or natural?? Sorry that I cannot answer this better. Did you write the seller?
