Dr. Bronner's Magic Soaps and other natural-cosmetics companies have won their fight against the government for the right to stamp the "USDA Organic" label on lip balms and body lotions.
The Escondido company and an organic-products trade group sued the U.S. Department of Agriculture in June after the agency directed organic-cosmetics companies to pull the distinctive green seal from packaging.
But in a memorandum issued this week, the USDA changed its stance and said that cosmetics and other personal-care goods that are certified under National Organic Program standards can carry the government designation.
Claims by companies that their products are organic are "rampant" and "don't mean anything unless they have the USDA label" on packaging, said David Bronner, president of Dr. Bronner's.

Yes definitely, I shop for organics all the time and see lots of organics with the USDA organic certified label on them.
In fact you should not put anything on your skin that you could not eat.
Including fluoride and chlorine, such as tap water.
The only thing that stuff is good for is to flush the toilets and wash clothes with.

no. It is impossible to make cosmetics completely out of 'organic" material

That's a good question. I'd suggest usda.gov and see if they're any pdf's about it. If not then send them an e-mail.
