SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Grove Collaborative, a leading digital-first brand and e-commerce platform for natural home and personal care products, announced today the acquisition of Sustain Natural, the category leader in natural sexual wellness products for women. In the past two years, Grove Collaborative has launched its own brands of home and personal care products, including lines of tree-free paper, laundry care and vitamins. This latest expansion into the period care and sexual wellness space with the acquisition of a brand known for better-for-you ingredients, product innovation, and inclusive branding signals a confidence in a category identified by analysts as a major wellness trend of 2019.
“At Grove, our long term vision is that consumer products will become a positive force for human and environmental health,” said Stuart Landesberg, co-founder & CEO of Grove Collaborative. “Sustain represents the best of that philosophy, with period products that consider both people and planet, and a passion and track record for women’s advocacy that is unrivaled in the industry.”
As Certified B Corporations, Grove Collaborative and Sustain Natural share a commitment to increased transparency and long-term sustainability. Since its 2015 launch, Sustain Natural has worked to shift both the product landscape and the conversation around women’s sexual and reproductive health, changing public perception of sex and menstruation with its products and activism-led marketing. “I am thrilled to now bring our brand and our products to an exponentially larger audience with Grove,” said Sustain Natural co-founder and CEO Meika Hollender. “The opportunity to do so with a partner that shares our commitment to women’s health and the sustainability of our planet is paramount. I am excited to introduce our many loyal customers to Grove, knowing that the work we do to amplify women’s voices and positively impact their experience is just beginning.”
Hollender joins Grove as CEO of Sustain and will be part of the company’s senior leadership to focus on the expansion of the company’s advocacy and impact programs. Sustain operations will move to Grove’s San Francisco headquarters, leveraging Grove’s 150+ team there.
