Our story is a little unusual and very serendipitous. In 2018, we were just a small business with good products but no real direction. That was until Chicagoan and future Asutra CEO/Owner Stephanie Morimoto’s business acumen and passion for wellness led her to us. Already an Asutra enthusiast, when she was presented with the opportunity to buy our little business she leapt at the chance. Under her guidance, we have grown into the natural, accessible, well-rounded, active self-care brand you know and adore.
And not to be some annoying name dropper, but we also have a name worth dropping: Venus Williams. Turns out Venus used (and still uses) our magnesium cream as part of her pre-game workouts and wanted to know our secrets. So much so, that she became part owner/Chief Brand Officer.
In a time when diversity and inclusion seem almost trendy, we don’t just talk the talk; we walk the walk. Our company is run not only by women but also by women of color. Actually, 70% of our employees are people of color. We are proud of our commitment to furthering the careers of people in marginalized groups.
As a brand that wants everyone to engage in active self-care, we water our roots so the fruits of our labor can feed more.
