USDA Organic Certification

In recent years and with increasing popularity of Organic, NON-GMO and Green products some manufacturers have been attempting to trick consumers through a slurry of confusing Marketing messages.

Terms like Wild crafted, Natural or Green can mean any number of things, at the full discretion of the company making the claims. Unfortunately it's impossible to tell to which degree any of these claims are valid (Free of pesticides or GMO's, Sustainable) because no regulating body is responsible for verifying such claims.

In fact, recent studies and investigations have revealed a serious issue with misrepresentation and mislabeling in the food and beauty industries. Items often being labeled Organic may contain as little as 5% or less actual Organic ingredients if any at all.

Whilst other Organic certifications only require 30% or less Organic ingredients to quality, or 10% of none-plant based materials be Organic. As you can imagine, this presents a serious TRUST problem for Consumers. This is where USDA Organic certification comes in.

With countless toxins prevalent in cosmetic products, and with the marketing jargon associated with wild, natural and green products, it's important to understand why USDA Certification is the superior choice when it comes to choosing an Organic brand.

USDA Organic Certification is the ONLY standardized, government-regulated certification system to ensure the safety of foods we put in our bodies and products we put on our bodies.

This means a more trustworthy experience knowing what you put on your skin comes from the most wholesome natural growth processes, in it's most natural and potent form.

- Products labelled Organic must have at least 95% certified organic content.
- Products cannot be produced using synthetic preservatives, any other excluded methods.
- Ingredients must be derived from whole plants grown in the most natural fashion.
- No manufactured herbicides or artificial fertilizers.
- No artificial or synthetic colours, preservatives or chemicals (including parabens and sulphates.
- No routine use of antibiotics and a more sustainable land and soil management.
- Operations must use organic seeds and other planting stock when available.
- The use of (GMO's) genetic engineering, ionizing radiation and sewage sludge is prohibited.
- Very limited number of pesticides allowed in rare cases. Mostly must use cultural, biological, and mechanical practices that foster cycling of resources, promote ecological balance, and conserve biodiversity.

Super Mushroom Serum

We utilize Organic materials, without synthetic bleaches or dyes; often hand-harvested from our Northern acreage. Sometimes our products may undergo some variation in color or consistency from batch to batch. This is natural as our raw ingredients may be harvested with varying seasonal conditions, which may result in a difference in their pigmentation ie) Maple Leaf more red or yellow.

Likewise, due to the Organic nature of our products, and because we do not use synthetic chemical binders and stabilizers, our products are reactive to Oxygen and Sunlight. Over time, the more your product is exposed to the elements and kept (unsealed), it is natural to observe some variation in its color or consistency. You can be proud that this is a verification of the quality organic nature of our products.

Once opened, product shelf-life may range between 1-3 months depending on variables such as where it is stored, temperature, humidity and light conditions. For maximum potency, we recommend using them within a 1 month window. Think of this as a 'best before' window. Just like you wouldn't eat expired food or purchase food with lots of chemical preservatives, you should only use quality natural ingredients on your skin.

Some people may experience a mild tingling sensation after applying the serum, and this is normal. As the Tremella Fuciformis (Hyualronic Acid) penetrates deeply into the skin with it's hydration. You can try applying a lesser amount (2-3 drops) or doing so with less frequency to allow your skin becomes accustomed.

If you're feeling an intense burn, or the sensation becomes painful; discontinue use and seek advice of your medical professional.

Our products are gentle for all skin-types, but individual cases may vary, so we always recommend doing a patch test before full application.

Sustainability

FRWRD Skincare is proud to have partnered with OneTreePlanted to ensure a single tree is planted for every sale of our products. 

Because trees use CO2 to build their trunks, branches, roots, and leaves, they are natural carbon absorbers. In fact, one mature tree can absorb up to 48lbs per year! And the benefits don’t stop there: healthy trees hold the soil together, provide a home for wildlife, regulate temperatures, slow the flow of water through landscapes, grow vital foods and medicines, and more. What’s not to love?

According to the U.S. Department of Energy's 2017 analysis via their now defunct Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center, the average American emits around 16.2 metric tons of CO2 from fossil fuels each year. At 2204 lbs per ton, that equals 35,704.8 lbs — or, approximately 744 trees just to offset 1 year's worth of impact. Clearly, we have work to do!
