SEATTLE — Thrive Causemetics and Founder + CEO Karissa Bodnar, a Seattle native, are back in the studio to talk about the new Impact-FULL™ Smoothing Lipstick.
Karissa grew up in the small town of Stanwood, Washington, and was obsessed with makeup and how products were made. After her friend Kristy died of cancer in college, Karissa was determined to build a company with safe products free of sulfates and parabens that anyone immune-compromised could use. She started her dream from her 1-bedroom apartment and now heads a leading Direct to Consumer beauty and skincare company!
Since the brand’s inception in 2015, they have donated more than $135M in products and cash to more than 500+ Giving Partners. $19M of that total has been to Giving Partners in Washington. Currently there are 42 giving partners in Washington.
All make-up shades at Thrive are named after namesakes, including the Dream Chaser blush shade named after King5 Evening’s Kim Holcomb.
