A Better B Corp Score
We’re thrilled to announce that we have recently been recertified as a B Corporation, and our score jumped from 83.6 to 92.4. We achieved this by embodying our company mission and values, improving our toxic reduction and remediation practices, and crafting our products with the utmost care and quality to support the wellness of our customers.
Our Products
Non-Toxic Ingredients
To ensure we offer products that are safe for both our customers and the environment, we rely on third-party testing and Certificates of Analysis.
This fiscal year, 84% of the products we sold met organic certification standards.
These standards verify that ingredients are grown without the use of synthetic pesticides, fossil-fuel-based fertilizers, or genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
To ethically sustain our production levels, Harmonic Arts partners with a diverse network of suppliers, ranging from small-scale farmers to herb brokerages around the world. This approach allows us to prioritize organic ingredients whenever possible while maintaining consistent access to the high-quality herbs, mushrooms, and superfoods needed to craft effective herbal formulas.

Our Operations
Environmental Stewardship
At Harmonic Arts, environmental stewardship drives our operations. We track our Scope 1-3 carbon emissions annually, measuring our own operations and supply chain impact. This helps us take responsibility for our environmental footprint and assess the effectiveness of our carbon reduction efforts. One key initiative is using low-emission shipping methods, like sea or ground freight, for all product inputs.
