There are more than 75 ingredients common in conventional body care
products that are not allowed in any body care products Whole Foods
Market sells, including phthalates, microbeads, triclosan, BHT, BHA and
aluminum chlorohydrate. Whole Foods Market also created its own standards
for organic labeling on personal care products, as there are no
mandatory government standards for “organic” claims in the body care
industry.
