The Natural Products Association just announced plans for a new certification program that will identify truly natural products with the seal pictured here.

Products obtaining the seal must be made up of at least 95 percent natural ingredients (and the other five percent must be determined to not be harmful to humans), feature ingredients that come from a purposeful, renewable/plentiful source found in nature and include processes that do not dilute the purity of the ingredients.
