Her investment backs one of the top five fastest growing female-founded companies in the United States
SkinnyDipped, creator of the all-natural nut snacks, today announced Colombian singer-songwriter, Grammy winner and humanitarian, Shakira, has invested in the company. Aligned with SkinnyDipped’s ethos of empowering female leaders and making a positive social impact, Shakira has long been committed to giving back, most notably through her non-profit, Barefoot Foundation, which is devoted to ensuring that every child has access to quality education. The newly founded relationship between these two female powerhouses creates a launchpad for this shared ideology to reach more people than ever.
“I was hooked on SkinnyDipped almonds and chocolate (two of my favorite things, but with less sugar!) from the moment I tried them, but when I learned about the brand’s mission and that it was founded by a mother and daughter duo, I was sold,” said Shakira. “Val and Breezy are true role models for other young entrepreneurs, and have made a product that is unique and socially conscious. Female leadership and social impact are things I’m increasingly passionate about, so investing in a brand whose values I believe in on top of loving the product made perfect sense.”
