What I mean to ask is one class of peels better than another class?   I just want to know the difference relating to their effective changes to the skin. Chemically and physiological effects.  :)

Nikki,

My experience with the terms organic and/or natural is that those words are used when there is a high concentration of organic ingredients in a product. That does not necessarily mean that the alpha and beta hydroxy acids used as the peeling agents in the 'organic' product are organically derived.  They may be created in a lab (which is not a bad thing) or derived from plants that are not organic (which is not a bad thing either).  But, there are enough organic ingredients in the product to use the term.  Keep in mind that 'using the term' does not guarantee any real assurance of organic content.
