Understand the terms society places on products that claim to be environmentally friendly.

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.
