Potent Plant Therapeutics for Skin, Body, and Mind.
Unlock the power of nature, with Prima! Clean, Sustainable Skincare, Body Care, and Well-being Essentials made with Broad Spectrum, Organic Hemp CBD, and Functional Botanicals – for Whole Body Wellness.
Every Prima product is naturally sourced, and made with the highest purity, potency, and transparency. And, everything is also obsessively tested – using science-backed, clinically studied plant ingredients.
Besides the products themselves products, one of the things I love most about Prima – is that they’re unapologetically strict about their commitment to safety, accountability, and traceability – which goes far above and beyond, what’s legally required here in the US, as well as in the EU.

To Prima, clean means it’s made without harsh, harmful, or questionable ingredients. NO known carcinogens, reproductive toxins, neurotoxins, developmental toxins, endocrine disruptors, or, anything that causes organ toxicity, DNA, or cell damage. And, nothing that harms the environment either. You can read more about their industry-defining List of 2800+ Restricted Ingredients, here.
Another thing I love about Prima is that they continually challenge the industry, to do more – and to do better! As science, regulations, and ingredient data evolves – they continue to monitor, and survey international regulatory bodies, experts, and scientific researchers in the field of toxicology, epidemiology, and sustainability – for anything linked to adverse health effects.
And, FYI: they’re also the first CBD brand to have EWG verified products! All of their skin and body care products are – Broad Spectrum, Non-GMO, Gluten Free, Vegan, Cruelty Free, Clinically Tested, and Hypoallergenic. And, all of their ingestibles are Broad Spectrum, Non-GMO, Gluten Free, Vegan, Contain No Refined Sugar, and are also Non-intoxicating.

One thing I can tell you, is that Prima has some of the highest quality, and most well-thought-out packaging I’ve ever seen in clean beauty – or elsewhere, for that matter. Their boxes and bottles are absolutely beautiful. They have a great weight to them. Their pumps lock, release just the perfect amount of oil, and are totally dripless (from my experience)! And, their soft-touch tubes just feel so high-end. Green-luxe, at its finest!
With that being said – Prima knows that everything they do, and every product they make — has an impact. Therefore, they feel it’s their duty reimagine design, and embrace circularity, so that that they can positively contribute to the planet, for future generations to come.
They do this by prioritizing human health, safety, environmental responsibility, impact, social ethics, human rights, and animal welfare – above all else. They’re also a Certified B Corp, Climate Neutral Certified, and Plastic Neutral.
Prima works hard to minimize their use of non-renewable resources – like, single-use plastics (only when necessary), and to maximize their use of renewables – like, glass. They also provide full transparency about their packaging materials. This way, you know what they’re made of, and how they can (or can’t) be recycled after use.
They limit their use of labels and finishing treatments, to enhance recyclability. 94% of Prima’s packaging (by weight) is Recyclable. 60% of their Shipping Boxes are recycled. 50% of their Tubes are Recycled Plastic. 85% of their primary packaging (by weight) is Glass, and 25% of it is Recycled. 100% of their Paper Packaging is Sustainably Harvested from Trees in responsibly managed Forests, and is FSC-Certified. They never use PVC, or Plastic-Laminated Paperboard. And, they limit the use of Inseparable Mixed Materials. Find out more about Prima’s Sustainability efforts, here.
