natural goodness
Inborn tendency toward benevolence
Natural goodness is the quality of being good by nature rather than through effort, training, or external constraint.
The phrase often appears in philosophical and theological discussions about whether humans are born innocent or must cultivate virtue: Rousseau believed in the natural goodness of man.
In marketing, it suggests wholesomeness without artificial processing: Made with natural goodness.
