EWG Verifiedā¢
EWG VERIFIEDā¢ is an independent third-party certification that verifies that personal care products meet the Environmental Working Groupās (EWG) strictest health, safety, and transparency standards.
The mark ensures that the product avoids EWGās chemicals of concern (ingredients with health, ecotoxicity and/or contamination concerns), provides full ingredient transparency and disclosure, and is manufactured according to good manufacturing practices. Prima is proud that five out of our six topical products have achieved EWG VERIFIEDā¢, and to be theĀ first hemp CBD brand to achieve the certification.
Certified B Corp
Prima is proudly a certified B Corporation ā as we meet theĀ highest standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. And we have gone through a rigorous verification, vetting, and assessment process to validate these standards. Certified B Corps are purpose-driven businesses that balance people, planet, and profit, and are legally required to consider the impact of our decisions on workers, customers, suppliers, community, and the environment.
Since our founding in 2018, Prima has operated as a āPBCā (Public Benefit Corporation), and we now join the B Corp community alongside a growing global movement of responsible brands and innovative business leaders redefining the rules and using business as a force for (more) good. Prima has proudly achieved theĀ highest score of any hemp CBD brand to garner this certification.
Certified Climate Neutral
We are a certified carbon-neutral business, now and forever, and have offsetĀ over 100%Ā of our carbon impact by investing in projects that combat the climate crisis through verified reforestation (via the efforts of CarbonFund.org), clean energy development and other solutions.
We are proud to have our carbon neutrality efforts certified by Climate Neutral, an independent nonprofit organization working to accelerate the transition to a low-carbon world by verifying that brands measure, offset, and reduce carbon emissions across every part of their business.
Certified Plastic Neutral
Prima is proud to be certified Plastic Neutral by partnering with rePurpose Global to fund the collection, processing and recovery of nature-bound plastic waste. For every product we sell, we will remove and recover twice as much plastic waste from the environment as is used across our packaging and operations. By taking this bold commitment, Prima is able to go beyond net-zero, with every purchase carrying a Negative Plastic Footprint.Ā In addition to reducing our plastic use wherever possible, this partnership with rePurpose Global allows us to fund cutting-edge recycling, support ethical wages for marginalized waste workers in Ghana, and ultimately reduce plastic leakage into landfills and waterways. Prima truly believes in the power of brands to effect lasting change.
Detox Project
All Prima products are certified Glyphosate Residue Free. The nonprofit Detox Projectās certification verifies that products do not contain glyphosate, the worldās most common pesticide linked to severe human and environmental harm. Products are tested by a third-party ISO 17025 accredited laboratory to ensure they do not contain glyphosate residues down to government-recognized limits of detection (LODs) for food, commodity and supplement samples (usually 0.01 ppm), and lower levels than default government Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) in the European Union and Japan.
We are proud that our entire line is certified, and has been since launch.
Leaping Bunny
Formed by the Coalition for Consumer Information on Cosmetics (CCIC), the internationally recognized Leaping Bunny logo certifies companies to a single comprehensive standard against animal testing. The Standard, short for the Corporate Standard of Compassion for Animals, mandates that a company does not conduct, commission, or be a party to animal testing of any cosmetic and/or household products including formulations andĀ ingredients of such products. The company also complies to not purchase any ingredient, formulation, or product from any Third Party Manufacturer or Supplier that conducted, commissioned, or had been party to animal testing on said ingredient, formulation, or product.
Prima is proud to have our entire line of topicals certified animal-testing free by the Leaping Bunny standard.
Green America Gold Business
