Why USDA Bio-Based Certification Matters — and Why It’s a Win for You

Why USDA Bio-Based Certification Matters — and Why It’s a Win for You

When you’re choosing a cleaner, lubricant, or protectant for your firearms and gear, performance comes first. You want something that works — no compromises. But what if you could get that same high performance and know it’s safer for you, your family, and the environment?

That’s exactly what the USDA Certified Bio-Based label means — and it’s one of the reasons SEAL1™ products stand apart.

What Does “USDA Certified Bio-Based” Mean?

The USDA BioPreferred® Program is a federal certification that verifies products are made with renewable, bio-based ingredients — not petroleum. To earn this label, a product must go through independent, third-party lab testing to confirm what percentage of its ingredients come from biological sources like plants, not fossil fuels.

When you see the USDA Certified Bio-Based label on SEAL1™ products, it means:

  • The formula has been tested and verified by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

  • It contains a proven percentage of renewable ingredients.

  • It meets strict federal standards for safety and environmental responsibility.

This isn’t a “marketing buzzword.” It’s an official certification backed by government testing and transparency.

Why It Matters for You

1. Safer for You and Your Gear

Bio-based means non-toxic and biodegradable. You’re not breathing in harsh solvents or leaving behind residues that can harm skin, wood, polymer, or metal finishes.
That’s peace of mind whether you’re cleaning your rifle, tuning your reel, or maintaining your boat motor.

2. Trusted Performance — Not a Tradeoff

Some folks hear “eco-friendly” and think “weaker.” Not with SEAL1.
Our bio-based formulas were developed to outperform traditional petroleum CLPs — providing superior lubrication, corrosion protection, and cleaning efficiency. That’s why professionals, military vets, and everyday gun owners rely on it.

3. American Innovation You Can Believe In

Being USDA certified isn’t just about the label. It’s about supporting American innovation in renewable chemistry and manufacturing.
Every SEAL1™ product is proudly Made in the USA, tested to rigorous standards, and developed by people who care about keeping America strong — on the range, on the water, and in the field.

4. Better for the Environment

Every bio-based product helps reduce dependency on imported petroleum and lowers the environmental footprint.
That means less exposure to toxic chemicals and more sustainable stewardship of the land and water we all enjoy.

The Bottom Line

When you buy a USDA Certified Bio-Based product, you’re getting more than a cleaner, lubricant, or protectant. You’re getting proof — proof that what’s inside is safe, effective, and responsibly made.

With SEAL1™, you don’t have to choose between performance and principle. You get both — exceptional protection and cleaner confidence, backed by science and certification.
