01 — FOUNDATIONS

The four design principles.

Every decision in this system traces back to one of these. When in doubt, optimize for trust first — wellness customers buy from brands they believe in.

PRINCIPLE 01

Trust over decoration.

Customers buying supplements they ingest need to believe the brand. Strip away ornament. Show ingredients, certifications, lab tests, and real customer evidence. The brand green is energy — earn the right to use it with substance.

PRINCIPLE 02

Type does the work.

One typeface, six weights, used decisively. Strong hierarchy creates confidence. Body copy is generous but never small enough to hide. Big numbers communicate scale. Bold short headlines communicate certainty.

PRINCIPLE 03

Green is the accent, not the substrate.

The brand green appears on call-to-actions, badges, prices, accent lines, and the logo — not as backgrounds or large color blocks. Restraint makes #84BD00 powerful where it appears.

PRINCIPLE 04

Density where it serves.

Reviews, ingredients, specifications, FAQs — all need to fit on screen. Whitespace is used to separate sections and frame hero moments, not as filler. Product information stays close to the buy button.

02 — COLOR

A purposeful palette.

Three families: Volume Green for energy and brand, neutral warm grays for surfaces, and reserved semantic colors for system feedback. Every color earns its place.

Volume Green — Brand Primary
#84BD00 is locked to the logo. The full scale powers CTAs, links, accents, and states.

05 — TRUST PATTERNS

How wellness customers learn to believe you.

For ingestible and topical products, trust is the conversion. Use these patterns on PDPs, collection pages, and the homepage hero. Density matters — show several at once.

Certification badges in the trust strip
USDA Organic · Third-Party Tested · GMP Certified · Made in USA. Show these as plain text icons in a horizontal strip directly below the header on every page.
→ Where: Header trust strip, PDP trust grid, footer badges
Review count + star average prominent
Show "★★★★★ 4.9 · 312 verified reviews" near the price on PDP. On the homepage hero, show the aggregate: "50,000+ customers · 4.9 average rating."
→ Where: Hero meta row, PDP under product title, product cards
Money-back guarantee in three places
Announcement bar, hero trust strip, PDP under buy button. Use exactly "30-Day Money-Back Guarantee" — never abbreviate to "30-day returns."
→ Where: Announcement bar, hero, PDP trust grid, cart drawer
🧪
Ingredient transparency on every PDP
Show full ingredient list, sourcing origin, extraction method, and a "What's NOT in it" callout. Wellness customers read these — they cannot be hidden behind an accordion.
→ Where: PDP main content (not in tabs)
💬
Verified buyer + product on every testimonial
Never use unattributed quotes. Every testimonial shows: review text, star rating, customer name, "Verified Buyer · [Product Name]". This is the single highest-converting trust signal.
→ Where: Homepage testimonials section, PDP reviews section
