    First tell us what you mean by the word “organic”.  To a chemist, anything that contains hydrocarbon molecules is organic.  You might mean something different.

    I’d have assumed that they want to market it as ‘organic’. I think looking for COSMOS approved chemicals would be a good place to start.

    @Benz3ne - that would depend though on their market. In the US, COSMOS doesn’t mean much.  If you want to sell a product as “organic” you’ll have to comply with the USDA regulations for Organic Products.

    A valid point well made - I should’ve elaborated to COSMOS (or similar depending on territory).
    Thanks for the clarification, Perry.
