Just because a product is paraben-free doesn’t necessarily mean it’s organic-and vice versa.
Organic products contain ingredients from natural sources produced in accordance with certain production standards that follow specific regulations. On the other hand, when a product is paraben-free, it means that the paraben preservatives are absent or replaced with alternative preservatives.
Therefore, a paraben-free product may or may not contain organic ingredients; and if an organic product doesn’t have the NOP (National Organic Program) or USDA organic seal, it can contain parabens. All cosmetics sold are required by law to declare every single ingredient, so you can determine what is or isn’t in a product by simply reading the label.
