Local Company Meets BUYcott Standards

Trillium Organics, a company based out of Sturgeon Bay, was recently added to a list of brands that the Organic Consumers Association (OCA) will “BUYcott.”

This list was presented after a milestone decision by the National Organic Standards Board (NOSB), which voted 12 to 1 for the USDA National Organic Program (NOP) to enforce the law for organic personal care just like they do for organic food. This decision will mean that shampoos and other body care products that claim to be organic, but are not certified, would be forced to drop the organic claims made on their products or improve formations to meet organic standards.

Karen Ciesar, owner of Trillium Organics, Inc., states, “Trillium Organics and the other companies on the BUYcott list have been taking the steps to ensure our products are verifiably Organic for many years, without much hope that the consumer could tell the difference between real and pretend organics. It’s heartening to see that organic integrity is starting to gain a legal foothold in our marketplace.”

Since its inception in 1994, Trillium Organics has grown to include over 15 different products, most notably Organic Body Polish. For more information call 920.746.5207, visit http://www.trilliumorganics.com or email [email protected].
