Thrive 5: Big Wins From Small Businesses

Crowded malls, traffic jams, and seemingly endless checkout lines—there’s no shortage of reasons to skip Black Friday altogether. Allow us to suggest one more: Small Business Saturday.

These standout products—all from homegrown companies run by their original founders—are found right here on Thrive Market. Sleeping in and shopping from home to support small brands? Sounds pretty good to us.

Acure Facial Scrub

This Acure facial scrub will quickly go into heavy rotation in your beauty routine. Organic sea kelp gently exfoliates while French green clay and organic lemon peel draw impurities out of the pores. As you cleanse, Organic Chlorella Growth Factor and Argan Stem Cells help brighten skin and stimulate new cell growth.

Sea of Change Sea Bakin’ Snacks

These delicious snacks in maple satisfy bacon cravings with a side of protein, calcium and essential minerals. These seaweed snacks are hand-crafted from sun-dried Whole Leaf Nori and blended with coconut oil, pure maple syrup, and sesame, and then lightly toasted for melt-in-your-mouth savory sweetness.

Pure7 Salted Almond Chocolate Bar

The Pure7 Salted Almond Chocolate Bar is generously studded with raw organic almonds and just the right amount of Himalayan sea salt. The result is perfectly balanced between super-smooth, sweet, and salty, and—like all of Pure7’s sweet treats—made from Fair Trade Ecuadorian chocolate and organic ingredients.

Kettle & Fire Beef Bone Broth

This bone broth delivers the many health benefits of traditional bone broth without the hassle. Every batch is made with bones from 100% grass-fed, pasture-raised cattle that are both hormone- and antibiotic-free. Organic veggies and herbs, sea salt, and black peppercorns inside add savoriness as the concoction simmers slowly for 24 hours for maximum flavor.
