Bliss Becomes First Mass & Drug Skincare Brand to Receive B Corp Certification

 This certification confirms that Bliss meets the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability to balance profit and purpose.

Bliss is the first-ever skincare brand sold at mass and drug to achieve B Corp Certification. 

 This certification confirms that Bliss meets the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability to balance profit and purpose.

"Over the last several years, our commitment to people, animals, and the planet set the stage to successfully submit for B Corp's highly sought-after seal of approval," says Bliss CEO Meri Baregamian, in a news release. "Only 1% of brands that apply for the certification are approved, and we're thrilled to be part of the select few who lead the way for the future of clean, sustainable beauty brands."

For over a year, Bliss has been a proud partner of The Trevor Project, an LGBTQ suicide prevention and crisis intervention organization to help at-risk youth, as well as a supporter of The Antiracist Research & Policy Center and their commitment to understanding, explaining and solving problems of racial inequity and injustice.  

Bliss uses only ethically-sourced, high-quality ingredients and has thoughtfully formulated its products to be 90% vegan and 100% clean and cruelty-free. All suppliers are required to confirm that no insects or animals were harmed in the manufacturing of Bliss' ingredients.

In addition, Bliss' packaging and formulas are created to consciously minimize impact on the planet. The brand has an official partnership with TerraCycle to ensure that all packaging is 100% recyclable and in just a few months has been able to redirect 26 lbs of its packaging from the landfill. Also, by prioritizing waste reduction initiatives, Bliss has saved more than 340,000 square feet of single-use waste and an additional 900 lbs of unnecessary packaging waste from being generated in 2020 alone. 

"B Corp is the gold standard for businesses doing good and always prioritizing social and environmental values in all their decision making, so we knew that it was a certification we wanted to pursue," continues Baregamian. "We are so excited to see our hard work to date pay off with this outstanding recognition and look forward to building upon the work we've been doing to meet these rigorous standards."
