How we test
Every batch.
On the record.
Testing only means something if you can read the result. So every batch gets a lab report, published on our batch report site under the number printed on your tub.
From tub to report
- 01
A batch is made
Each production run gets one batch number. It's printed on every tub from that run, next to the QR code.
- 02
Samples go to a lab
Samples from the batch go to an independent, third-party lab. Not our own.
- 03
The lab tests it
Label claim, heavy metals, microbial count and checks specific to the product.
- 04
The report is published
The certificate of analysis goes online under that batch number before the batch is sold.
- 05
You check it
Type the number from your tub into the batch lookup and open the report.

Reading a certificate of analysis
Four columns.
That's all.
| TestWhat was measured, e.g. "Lead" or "Protein (dry basis)". | Column 1 |
|---|---|
| MethodThe standard procedure the lab used. It lets another lab repeat the test. | Column 2 |
| SpecificationThe limit or target the batch has to meet. | Column 3 |
| ResultWhat the lab found in this batch. Compare it with the specification. | Column 4 |
The report also shows the batch number, the lab's name and accreditation, and the test dates. The batch number should match the one on your tub.
