i thot all starches we'd use on fabric came from vegetable
cellulose?
not something i thot much about tho.
why not make your own 'organic' starch, then buy one of
those simple sponge top bottles.
has to be cheaper than that 'organic press and starch
solution for applique'.

Trixie makes a good point.
However, there is (so far as I know) no legal cerification process in
the US for non-food items, nor am I aware of any reputable
non-government organizations certifying non-food products. Not that
there might not be some, just none that I know of.
There is also no mention of certification in the description or on the
lable in the picture.

Therefore there is really no choice but to take Jeanne's literal
interpretation of the product. It is a carbon bearing starch of some
variety, probably vegetable in origin, in a bottle that probably cost
the company considerably less than the $2 it would cost a person to
buy an empty one.
It may possibly have been made with a vegetable product that was not
organically grown, and it may have been adulterated or treated with
Ghu knows what during processing and packaging. Or it may be totally
on the up and up and has been made with only certified organic
products, and packaged in accordance with the same principles. There
is no real way of knowing with a non-food product.

curiosity got the better of me, so i emailed the website
asking them what 'organic natural ingredients' were in the
solution (i'm still wondering how it is a solution if there
is only powder in the bottle and you add the water when you
get ready to use it).
seems to me the bottle would cost more than the powder
inside, oh well.
when/if i get a reply will post it here so we'll all know.
