A new product in the press today, entitled Organoderm, is both USDA and Circle of Green Certified Organic. The Circle of Green certification promises that no chemicals are used in the formulations while the USDA Organic label confirms no synthetic preservatives are used.

Organoderm is available only through the internet but prices are very reasonable, with products ranging from $12 - $42. In addition, Organoderm donates 10% of all proceeds to cancer research.
