● When Suzannah Raff, founder of Cleo+Coco, was first pregnant, she was extra careful with the ingredients that she was putting on her body. After a lot of research and partnering with the top chemists in the clean and natural world to make her own products — ones that are actually clean with no synthetic fragrances, and that actually work and thus Cleo+Coco was born. The personal care brand is now a woman-owned, award winning personal care brand that offers effective, clean, vegan, cruelty-free and sustainable personal care products.

● Culiraw's healthy, plant-based cheesecakes, cookies, and snacks are a testament to a passion-filled journey. Silvia Vidova, the founder, embarked on a quest for healthier dessert and snack options. What began as a personal endeavor blossomed into a wide range of vegan cheesecakes, cookies and snacks that invite you to indulge without hesitation.

● When Growee Founder Aman Blana began a transition towards more animal-free foods, he realized that oftentimes, he was turning to more complicated, highly processed ingredients. In order to make plant based-diets more approachable they should be mouthwatering and not have ingredient lists long enough to get lost. Instead of using manipulated-in-a-lab "natural flavor," he experimented in his kitchen, harnessing flavor from real, natural ingredients.

● Lola Snacks offers life-changing energy bars designed to unlock good gut health with clean ingredients, adaptogens and delivers exceptional performance nutrition. Founded by Mary Molina, a mother of five, Lola Snacks was born out of her kitchen during a challenging time when she relied on food assistance to support her family. Faced with her husband's gut health struggles and her children's food allergies, Mary created a gut-friendly energy bar that outperforms kombucha, yogurt, and prebiotic sodas, providing the fuel you need to power through to the finish line.
