There’s a lot of talk about going natural or organic in the present times. People have become very conscious about the products they are using, and they want to shift from modern chemical-infused products to more natural and organic ones. So, you’ve decided to join the trend too? Well, there’s nothing wrong in doing so, but it can certainly be erroneous if you don’t know what exactly you want to buy.


What we mean to say is that even though you’re planning to go the natural or organic way, do you know what exactly these terms mean? Just walk down to your nearest store, or get online to buy some products, and you’ll see a set of terms being used for the products you’re searching.

Some products may be labelled as organic, others as natural. Then, there could be others tagged as Ayurvedic, or herbal. So, what do these terms actually mean? Are they all the same? Or, do they differ in their properties? It is always wise to have a thorough understanding of what you’re buying before you purchase the product. And, this is what we’re here to help you with today.

In this blog below, we’ve come up with the perfect definitions and properties of the varied terms you see on products at any store. We’re here to break the dilemma you are in, so that you can make an informed decision as to what you would actually want to buy.

Herbal products

“Herbal”, as the name itself suggests, is a product that is made using herbs. Herbal products are thus made with the extracts from plants, leaves, and flowers; and this is why these products claim to be free from chemicals. However, you must be informed that although these products do not directly use any chemicals for production, but the ingredients used to make these products are grown using pesticides and fertilizers.

Further, you should also realize that there are no local or global standards, no raw material standards, or no efficacy norms to be followed for manufacturing herbal products. However, these products are proven to be useful for improving one’s health and for various other therapeutic reasons. But, they are only limited to healing a wound or infection quickly, but they don’t guarantee to cure the disease forever.

Natural products

Natural products, as the name itself proposes, are manufactured using nature-derived ingredients like plants and minerals. They are thus formulated without the involvement of petroleum or mineral oil derived ingredients. However, the raw materials used to make natural products are grown with the usage of pesticides and chemical fertilizers. But, natural products are free from preservatives, artificial colours, synthetic fragrances, and other additives.

This makes them quite safe to use on both skin and hair. Even still, it is advisable to check the list of ingredients before purchasing any “natural” product, because there is no certain claim or guarantee, or any such local or global standards followed, or any legal binding to manufacture natural products.
