“It is a huge honor to be included in the 3rd annual Inc. Female Founders List,” said Wilson. “As an entrepreneur, I’ve worked to transform the eco-friendly lifestyle industry. My life’s goal has been to bring wellness, sustainability and beauty into everyday life. I’ve also made it my priority to solve the hypoallergenic issues facing 1 in 5 Americans. As a result, these products are more in demand and impactful for everyone in their home.”
