Why Product Testing Matters: Your Health, Your Safety, Our Priority

In today’s wellness marketplace, not all products are created equal. While wellness products continue to gain popularity, there’s a vital piece of the puzzle many consumers don’t realize: most wellness products are not tested for safety or potency. That’s right—many brands can sell gummies, oils, balms, and drops without ever checking for harmful contaminants or ensuring that it contains what it says it does.

At Proof, we believe you deserve transparency and trust.

Why Testing Is So Important

Hemp is a bioaccumulator, meaning it naturally draws up substances from the soil it’s grown in—including pesticides, heavy metals, and other toxins. This quality makes it great for remediating polluted land—but it also means that poorly sourced hemp can introduce harmful contaminants into your body. Furthermore, some of these harmful substances can be concentrated further during the oil extraction process. That means that even if the plant matter was tested, the extract could contain far more of those harmful compounds.

That’s why third-party lab testing of hemp extracts is essential. It’s the only way to verify that the product you're using is free from dangerous compounds and contains the cannabinoids it claims to.

What We Test For

Every Proof product is tested by SC Labs, an ISO/IEC-accredited lab. We screen each batch for:

  • Cannabinoid content: We verify potency so you know exactly how much CBD, CBN, or other cannabinoids you're getting.
  • Heavy metals: Substances like lead, arsenic, and mercury have no place in wellness products.
  • Microbial contaminants: We test for harmful bacteria like Salmonella and E. coli, as well as mold and yeast.
  • Residual solvents: If solvents are used in the extraction process, we make sure none are left behind.
  • Pesticides: Our products are verified pesticide-free.

Each product has its own Certificate of Analysis (COA), which you can view or download directly from the Tested Clean page of our website. These reports offer full transparency and peace of mind.

Transparency You Can Trust

While testing isn’t mandatory for hemp products, we’ve made it part of our core practice because your wellness matters. When you buy from Proof, you’re choosing a company that prioritizes clean, effective, and trustworthy products—not shortcuts.

You deserve to know what’s in your bottle. And at Proof, we’re proud to show you.
