Brand Story – About Hippotanicals
“Small ingredients. Big impact.”
Hippotanicals was born from a simple but powerful realization: personal care should be safe, effective, and sustainable. After experiencing a painful allergic reaction, I was frustrated by the long list of ingredients in conventional lip balms. There were so many ingredients that it was difficult to pinpoint the cause. This sparked the idea for a brand built on transparency, simplicity, and science-informed care.
Every product we create, including lip balms, lotion bars, shampoo bars, and toothpaste tablets, contains 12 or fewer safe ingredients and comes in biodegradable packaging. We prioritize minimalism without compromising quality or effectiveness, so you can feel confident in the products you use every day.
Hippotanicals is a lifestyle. We believe in mindful care: for your body, the planet, and the community. Through partnerships with organizations like International Justice Mission and One Tree Planted, we actively support people and nature. Our goal is to inspire a holistic, sustainable approach to wellness, empowering you to care for yourself while making a positive impact on the world around you.
Founder Story – Meet Dr. Ann
“A simple allergic reaction changed everything.”
In 2020, a severe allergic reaction to a commercial lip balm made me realize that over 70% of Americans struggle with skin sensitivities and that safe, minimal-ingredient body care is surprisingly hard to find. As a dentist with a history of personal health challenges, I understand the deep connection between skin, oral, and overall wellness.
Frustrated but determined, I began creating plant-based, science-informed personal care products in my kitchen, testing and refining each formula myself. Education is at the heart of what I do. I want people to understand how their choices affect their health and the planet. Giving back is equally important, and I strive to make a positive impact through every product and partnership. My mission: to deliver care that’s safe for people, animals, and the planet, without compromise.
