What does it mean when they say: ACO certified organic/natural?

IF A PRODUCT IS LABELED "ALL NATURAL" OR "ORGANIC," IT'S PROBABLY HYPOALLERGENIC.False
Remember, poison ivy is all natural, too! But you probably don't want it on your skin. It is very possible to have an allergic reaction, or other irritation, from products labeled "all natural" or "organic." For example, lanolin, from sheep's wool, is a common natural ingredient in some moisturizers that sometimes causes allergic reactions.
You may also need to watch certain "all natural" products that contain substances taken from plants. These products may be more at risk for bacteria. Since these products contain no preservatives or have non-traditional ones, your risk of infection may be greater.

You can find them @ any health, grocery and/or beauty stores that sells organic products.

The label doesn't tell you much, the hair industry is a billion dollar business. They sell products that cleans & condition the hair. They also sell products that damage and causes hair loss. They also DO NOT give money back guarantee for damaged hair or hair loss due to 'abuse'. Mechanical, chemical, or thermal styling. Hair straighteners and relaxers top the hair products pose the greatest risks. Hair relaxers, related products marketed heavily to African-American women, are dangerous because they may contain powerful chemicals such as lye, a toxic substance also used in drain cleaners.

When you wash your hair with one of those nutrient-rich shampoos, most of the nutrients and active ingredients in the product don’t actually end up in your hair, they wind up down the drain… along with all the money you spent on the shampoo. It is HOW you use to style your hair or what styling tools that damage the hair, and what chemicals you're adding to the hair, not the shampoo.

    Remember, not all ‘natural’ or ‘organic’ products are 100% natural. Any product that contains just 1 natural ingredient qualifies to be called natural. Try a 100% Natural brand like Delizioso Skincare. I love their stuff and I find it affordable and worth the price.

    All the products sold in drugstores are NOT 100% natural. If you’re looking for something local, try Burt’s Bees. They’re the most natural you’ll find in local drugstores.
