“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.”

Breezy Griffith, SkinnyDipped’s CEO, said: “We are incredibly excited and grateful to have cultivated this relationship with Shakira, whose dedication to the nutrition and health of women and children around the world is well-documented and incredibly respected.

“We have the utmost respect for her as a performer and a philanthropist, and are honoured that she values our products and the work we are doing as much as our team does. This investment will support our mission and allow us the ability to make ethically-sourced, nutritious and delicious snacks accessible to more people.”
