Tips for understanding ‘green’ lingo

Taylor Ketchum – Vice President

Many in our society are focusing on making their lives greener. But for some, the concept seems so vast that it’s hard to understand the lingo.

Here is a breakdown of some popular terms:

Cruelty-free: Created/developed without the product being animal-tested.

Organic: Created/developed without the use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides or other artificial agents.

Clean: Created/developed without the use of controversial ingredients.

Vegan: Created/developed without the use of animal byproducts.

Tip: Use the GoodGuide app to get the dirt on who’s really green and who’s just green-washing. Android and iPhone versions are available.
