What is Organic?
Certified Organic products are grown and processed without the use of synthetic chemicals, fertilizers, or Genetically Modified Organisms, GMOs. Organics is not just chemical free agriculture. It is about the way the product ingredients have been grown, prepared, processed and packaged. Standards to achieve certification are internationally recognized and are assured through annual audits of all certified operators by an independent third party auditor.
Many companies highlight natural ingredients, but to be sure that you are using truly organic products, look to see if the manufacturer can prove that it is certified organic. Miessence is founded on the principle that only organic is good enough for our bodies and our planet. Miessence is the first nutritional, health and well-being company in the world to offer an extensive range of internationally certified organic products.

A genetically modified organism (GMO) is a plant, animal or microorganism whose genetic code has been altered (subtracted from, or added to either the same species or a different species) in order to give it characteristics that it does not have naturally.
