With products in the body care industry, New Zealand label Anihana has truly made a name for itself as it is currently being sold across various Target stores in the US.
The brainchild of married couple, Aden and Sophie Cooper, Anihana aims to provide moments of rest and relaxation after a long tiring day at the office or for your scheduled self care days during the week.
Sophie noted that she, her parents, grandparents and everyone else in their families used traditional soap bars and she wanted to continue this with her daughter, Beau but also wanted to be more sustainable. So she decided to purchase the soap manufacturing company that she worked at and created sustainable and gentle products herself.
Anihana values holistic sustainability. Their ingredients are safe and ethically sourced so people can feel good when indulging in their self-care. At present, they sell 35 products under eight different categories, all of which are fun and affordable for daily usage.
“Don’t be afraid to ask for help. There are a lot of other incredible New Zealand business owners that are willing to help, offer advice or just share learning,” said Sophie Cooper. “Growing a business can be quite lonely sometimes so don’t be afraid to put yourself out there and connect with others going through the same things as you.”
