Sandra Charbonneau/SanRe Organic Skinfood

SanRe is a mother-daughter family-conceived and owned company. Treating their customers as extended family, they take great pride in producing only truly organic skinfood for all. They grew up in Europe, using many natural, herbal lotions and remedies. In the United States, they gained further skin and health experience as an esthetician, hygienist and herbalist. Faced with the their own aging skin, as well as evolving knowledge of the toxins within many modern skin care products, they envisioned a new path: SanRe Organic Skinfood!

We’ve all heard, “you are what you eat.” Their motto is expanded to include “you are what you absorb, apply and beautify yourself with.” One doesn’t refrain from eating toxins, only to place them upon their skin, which is the largest organ of the body. Hence began their mission, to produce and supply truly organic skinfood for everyone’s health and beauty. SanRe obtains all possible ingredients from USDA certified organic farmers and companies. Each product is “personally” crafted, tested, improved, finalized and produced by SanRe. They make each product only in small batches to ensure the utmost quality and freshness.

About Tiffany Krumins:

Tiffany Krumins is the CEO, founder and inventor of the Ava the Elephant® brand. Ava the Elephant is a talking children’s medicine dispenser that takes the fear and anxiety out of administering medicine to children.

Tiffany’s passion for helping children has been evident through her years of experience, including the work she’s done with children who have special needs and with childhood cancer patients. It was that same passion which brought Ava the Elephant to life! She realized no product on the market resolved the common problem of giving children medicine. She took matters into her own hands and created the first Ava the Elephant from sponges, fabric and a store bought medicine dropper. After seeing the profound effect it had on children she knew she was onto something.

After her life changing experience on ABC’s “Shark Tank” she returned home with her investment from Barbara Corcoran and started the process of launching a product. In the midst of it all, Tiffany was diagnosed with cancer three months after the show (at the age of 27). This personal heartbreak only made her passion to help sick children even stronger.
