Certifications & Testing

Common Badger Certifications

Badger is committed to transparency in all we do. And we believe that third party certifications take the guesswork out of the claims we make about our products. So we voluntarily adhere to the strict standards of the agencies certifying our products – like the USDA and the Gluten-Free Certification Organization - so you don’t have to wonder if our claims are true.

USDA Certified Organic

Certified Organic products are made from a minimum of 95% certified organic ingredients that are free from chemical fertilizers, artificial hormones, antibiotics, GMOs, or synthetic pesticides. In our opinion, organic agriculture produces ingredients that are better for people and better for our planet.

NSF Organic Certification

This cosmetic standard held by the NSF allows for cosmetic ingredients not used in food but still processed to organic standards. Products bearing this seal must contain a minimum of 70% USDA Certified Organic ingredients. The NSF is accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) as a standard developer.

Fair Trade Certified™

Products bearing this logo contain ingredients grown by farmers and producers that were paid living wages for the goods they produce. Earning a fair trade price enables growers to improve their quality of life, invest in their farms and communities, help protect the environment, and develop the business skills necessary to compete in the global marketplace. Badger is committed to certifying our products to fair trade standards whenever possible.

Natural Products Association

To be certified natural the product must be derived from 95-100% ingredients made from a renewable resource found in nature, with biodegradable ingredients, no petroleum compounds, and the most environmentally sensitive packaging.

The Leaping Bunny Program

Overseen by the Coalition for Consumer Information on Cosmetics (CCIC), the Leaping Bunny Logo certifies that Badger does not test on animals. Moreover, this certification also audits our supply chain, meaning we cannot (and will not) purchase from or do business with any supplier who tests on animals.

Every Badger product is certified cruelty free by the Leaping Bunny Program.

Certified Gluten Free

Badger’s manufacturing facility in New Hampshire is certified by the Gluten-Free Certification Organization (GFCO). This means that every product that we produce here in New Hampshire is Gluten-Free and does not run the risk for cross contamination. (For more information on products not produced at Badger, check out our Frequently Asked Questions.)

Certified B Corp

B Corp certification is to business what Fair Trade is to coffee or USDA Organic is to milk. Being a certified B Corporation means that Badger meets rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. In much the same way that the USDA would certify an organic product, B Lab, a third party nonprofit certifies Badger as a corporation, ensuring that our unique mission and principles remain woven into the DNA of the company.

Look for this logo on our labels, packaging, catalogs, and mailers.

The intent of the FSC system is to shift the market to eliminate habitat destruction, water pollution, displacement of indigenous peoples and violence against people and wildlife that often accompanies logging
