1. Overview

California’s Proposition 65 (Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986) requires businesses to inform consumers of any potential exposure to chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects, or reproductive harm.

At Herb Man Teas, we believe in complete transparency. This disclosure explains why the warning may appear on some products and how we ensure safety and compliance for all items we sell.

---

2. What Is Proposition 65?

Proposition 65 (Prop 65) requires warnings on products that contain trace levels of any listed substance—even when those levels are far below the thresholds recognized as hazardous by federal or international authorities.

The Prop 65 list currently contains more than 900 substances, including naturally occurring minerals such as lead, arsenic, and mercury that are commonly found in soil and plants.

---

3. Why a Warning May Appear on Herbal Products

All plants naturally absorb minerals from the soil. Even organically grown herbs can contain microscopic, naturally occurring trace metals that trigger Prop 65 disclosure requirements.

A Prop 65 warning does not mean that a product is unsafe. It simply reflects California’s uniquely strict labeling standard—often 1,000 times lower than internationally accepted safety limits.

4. Testing and Quality Practices

Ayurvedic Products

All Ayurvedic formulas sold by Herb Man Teas are produced and tested by our licensed U.S. importer and long-time partner, who supplies certified Ayurvedic products that undergo batch-specific laboratory testing for heavy metals, pesticides, and microbiological safety.

• Certificates of Analysis (COAs) and inspection certificates are maintained for each batch and available upon request.

• Testing meets U.S. import requirements and ANSI 173 dietary supplement standards.

Western Herbal Products

All Western herbs used in our teas are sourced from trusted suppliers in the United States, Canada, and Europe, with certain specialty mushrooms obtained from a reputable Chinese company.
These suppliers maintain organic or wild-crafted certifications and provide documentation verifying quality. Herb Man Teas does not perform independent laboratory testing on these Western herbs but ensures every source meets national organic and food-safety standards.

5. Why We Provide This Disclosure

We include this disclosure to remain transparent and compliant with California law. Even though testing shows mineral levels well below international safety thresholds, Prop 65 requires a consumer warning whenever trace amounts are detectable.

---

6. Comparison of Safety Standards

Prop 65 limits are among the most conservative in the world—roughly 1,000 times lower than levels shown to have no observable effect.

---

7. Our Commitment to Purity

• We never use synthetic preservatives, fillers, artificial colors, or chemical solvents.

• Most formulas are made only from natural plant materials using traditional preparation methods.

• Some formulas also include shells, pearls, and naturally occurring minerals that have been safely prepared for human consumption according to Ayurvedic tradition.

Our mission is to maintain the vitality and integrity of every herb while ensuring complete safety and compliance.
