Stream2Sea is officially certified by WBENC as a woman-owned business!

If you haven't heard of WBENC (the Women's Business Enterprise National Council), they're the biggest certifier of women-owned businesses in the country. When we got this certification in 2025, we proved that our company is at least 51% (we are significantly more than that) woman-owned, operated, and managed: it is the gold standard for women-owned businesses in the US.

Why does this matter?

We are proud to be a Woman-Owned and Women-Led organization. This certification is validated through a rigorous third-party process that promotes social responsibility.  We are proud that Stream2Sea isn't your average skincare brand, but is built on empowerment, integrity, and doing right by our planet: our customers and partners can have confidence in our vision and values. our customers and partners can have confidence in our vision and our values. 

Our founder and CEO, Autumn Blum, started the company with a vision to create personal care products that are thoroughly tested and proven safer for our bodies and our waters. Our COO, Faith Connelly, keeps everything running smoothly while staying true to our environmental mission.

And across sales, marketing, shipping, and production, we've got incredible women (and men)  leading the charge, all working to protect the waters we love.

The WBENC certification is a true commitment: to lead with purpose, to support women in business, and to keep creating products that are safer for both people and planet.

We couldn't do any of this without you. Thank you for supporting us, for caring about what goes into our oceans, and for believing in what women-led businesses can accomplish.

Here's to cleaner waters, safer products, and more women leading the way!
