Innersense has been a Certified B Corp since 2021 and is now certified at Year 0 under B Lab’s new phased framework.

B Corp Certification independently audits companies against B Lab’s integrated standards, supporting transparency and accountability in how businesses operate.

For Innersense, recertification involved documenting the policies, processes, and evidence behind its business practices. The milestone provides renewed accountability for a mission the company has carried from the very beginning: haircare that delivers salon performance with intentional formulations, caring for hair, people, and planet.

“When we founded Innersense, we wanted to build more than a high-performance haircare company. We wanted to build a business with heart, intention and accountability,” said Greg and Joanne Starkman, founders of Innersense Organic Beauty. “Recertification under these new standards asks us to show the systems and evidence behind our commitments. We are proud of the progress this represents, grateful to the team and partners who made it possible, and committed to continuing to learn and improve.”

Innersense views B Corp Certification as an ongoing framework rather than a finish line. Under B Lab’s phased approach, companies meet Year 0 requirements at certification and adopt additional requirements at Years 3 and 5, building on each previous phase.
