You probably know we create awesome natural skincare products, like our face wash for men or our shave oil. But let me throw a question at you, do you know we do it using a regenerative model?

This means that the ecosystem (people, plants, planet) is better off because of what we do and how we do it. That model starts with regenerative agriculture, in the dirt of our farms in Costa Rica.

Four summers ago, I tried Thrive Natural Care for the first time. And a bromance was born. I vibed with the values of the company — unconventional, adventurous, fun — and the quality of the skincare experience.

That bromance is still going strong, many sun-soaked adventures later. Why? When it comes down to it, Thrive takes care of my skin. Period.

¡Pura vida, amigos! My name is Mario and I am writing to you from Costa Rica where I lead Sustainability operations at Thrive Natural Care. Well, that’s not entirely true. I lead operations which aim to go beyond sustainability.

Instead of just limiting the negative we aim to actively create more positive. That way, as we grow unique ingredients for our powerful natural skincare products, we’re also leaving the world better than we found it.

A Founder’s Story by CEO of Thrive Natural Care, Alex McIntosh

Like many founders, I saw a gap in the market. A “product gap,” yes. But also a “business model gap.”  

At Thrive Natural Care we help customers to look better and live healthier with high-performance natural men’s grooming products. And we do so with one of the coolest business models on the planet, connecting customers to something greater than the product itself. We call it a regenerative business.

Thrive’s high-performance line of plant-based skincare products — a Shave Oil, Energy Scrub, Face Wash, and Face Balm — will now be complemented by a pair of products for sensitive skin and an all new Grooming Oil.

It’s part of a continued dream come true for me, bringing high performance, truly natural products to the world, and an exciting step in the journey of Thrive Natural Care as we fulfill our mission to leave things better than we found them, from farm to face.

From farmers in Costa Rica to NBA Center Mason Plumlee, there is a movement afoot. A movement that is refining the art of business for a better world.

It’s led by a roster of doers and shakers who are building a skincare company to do it. It’s the future of business. And we’re here to create it with you.

My name is Laura Arce. I am the director of R&D at Thrive, creating the potent plant-based formulas found in every bottle, from our face wash and face scrub, to our newest line for sensitive skin.

I am living my dream in more ways than one. And today, on International Women’s Day I want to share how my story became part of our story. A story of a company that empowers women entrepreneurs, like myself, as part of its mission to leave the world better than we found it.
