Hippotanicals is a mission-driven personal care brand focused on creating effective, science-informed products that are better for people, animals, and the planet. Founded by a practicing dentist, the brand was created to address the growing demand for clean, plant-based personal care products made with thoughtful ingredients and responsible packaging.

This loan will support three key areas of growth: inventory, marketing, and sustainable expansion. Increased inventory will allow Hippotanicals to meet rising demand from retail, wholesale, and corporate partners while maintaining consistent product availability. Marketing efforts will focus on brand awareness, education, and outreach to new customers and retail accounts, helping expand the reach of ethical personal care options. Funds will also support sustainable expansion by strengthening operational systems, improving distribution, and supporting responsible sourcing and packaging decisions.

Hippotanicals is committed to certified vegan and cruelty-free formulations, biodegradable and low-waste packaging, and ingredient choices that avoid environmentally harmful materials such as palm oil. In addition to its product standards, the brand gives back by supporting organizations that advance human welfare, animal protection, and environmental conservation.

By investing in inventory growth, responsible marketing, and scalable operations, this loan will help Hippotanicals continue building a values-driven business that prioritizes long-term impact alongside financial sustainability.
