"Prima stands clearly ahead as poised leaders of consciousness, credibility, responsibility, sustainability and transparency in the quickly developing CBD category," said Lindsey Wilson, a senior associate in business development at B Lab.
"We started Prima to take CBD out of the shadow economy of cannabis and into the wellness industry in a meaningful way," said Prima co-founder and chief education officer Jessica Assaf.
Earning B Corp after only 12 months in market is a remarkable feat to reach, considering the meticulous accreditation process led by B Lab, the nonprofit on a global mission to use "business as a force for good."
Laying out (and upholding) stringent standards isn't common for CBD companies – the industry overall is notorious for having a lack of transparency and efficacy – largely due to a lack in regulation by the FDA.
In the clean beauty and wellness category, companies use vague lingo like "all natural" and "non-toxic," "vegan" and "cruelty free" on packaging, rarely going beyond the flimsy promise of their products being "green."
