Why We Trust This Brand

Primally Pure's ingredient list reads like a farm inventory, not a chemistry lab. Tallow from grass-fed cattle, organic coconut oil, beeswax — these are ingredients with centuries of use. The company is wholly owned by Bethany McDaniel and her family, with zero outside investment. When they say 'farm to body,' they mean it literally.
