This brand has a unique and compelling story related to the production of some of their ingredients. It’s clear that they recognize the importance of ingredient safety (all of their products are EWG Verified, a best-in-class ingredient safety certification). They also see the need to focus on upstream environmental and social impacts associated with ingredient production. There is some real potential here and we hope they continue to elevate their efforts as they grow. In particular, we hope to see some improved substantiation and external verification of their claims related to responsible sourcing and regenerative agriculture.
