Ingredients must come from a renewable resource found in nature, and certified products must fully disclose ingredients on the package label to allow consumers to make informed decisions.
“The NPA Natural Seal is quickly growing in visibility and consumer awareness nationwide,” says NPA’s executive director and CEO, John Gay.
