Born in Portland, Oregon, Avoli (pronounced Ah Volley) is the world’s first brand dedicated solely to the performance needs and aspirations of women and girl volleyball athletes.
Founded in 2023, Avoli’s founders and a women-led design team are focused on creating specialized footwear, apparel and equipment tailored to the physiology and unique requirements of today’s women and girl volleyball athletes.
While the sport currently is the number one participation team sport for girls in the U.S., until the launch of Avoli there has not been a brand offering performance volleyball products made exclusively for women and girls.
We exist because women and girl volleyball athletes deserve a brand that knows how fun it is to play—and how hard it is not to. Our focus is on creating products that can help prevent injury while optimizing performance on the court. #BecauseVolleyball

We’re Changing the Beauty Industry for Good.
Thrive Causemetics was born out of a friendship. Makeup artist and product developer, Karissa Bodnar, lost her dear friend Kristy to cancer at just 24 years old. Kristy’s compassionate and vivacious spirit inspired Karissa to establish Thrive Causemetics, a beauty brand and philosophy that goes beyond skin deep by empowering women.
Thrive Causemetics is Bigger Than Beauty™️: For every product you purchase, we donate to help a woman thrive. We believe changing the world starts with a single ingredient, and that’s why we create vegan, 100% cruelty-free formulas containing proven ingredients without the use of parabens or sulfates. All of our high-performance cosmetics are developed at Thrive Causemetics Lab—we control every step of the product development process, and a large part of it involves you.

DERMAFLASH, A Revolution In Skincare.
Dara Levy, our inventor and founder, believes that when you look good, you feel good, and when you feel good, there is absolutely nothing you can’t accomplish. Dara witnessed just how empowering DERMAFLASH was firsthand every day in her Med Spa, where her signature service was dermaplaning. After selling 6,000 of these treatments in 5 years, she realized that an at-home solution did not exist. It was that “aha” moment that led to the creation of DERMAFLASH.
DERMAFLASH is a first-in-class at-home device that both exfoliates and removes peach fuzz, while instantly transforming the skin on a woman's face. This, in turn, creates a flawless canvas for both skincare and make-up.
In clinical testing, 96% of women raved that their skin was more “soft and supple” immediately after using DERMAFLASH.
Our handy little device has won awards like Allure's Best of Beauty Award, New Beauty's Beauty Choice Award, Martha Stewart's Best of Beauty VOW List, ESSENCE Best in Black Beauty Award and Spanish People's Top 50 Beauty Products! We were also a finalist in the 2017 CEW Beauty Awards!
You can find DERMAFLASH at DERMAFLASH.com; Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, Sephora, and day spas that include destinations such as Canyon Ranch, Ritz Carlton, Woodhouse, and more!

Our mission is simple: to develop and market technically advanced and clinically proven products that make a clear difference in skin care.
In 2001, Clarisonic was founded by a team of scientists and engineers in Seattle, WA, USA. The company began by combining proprietary technology with an innovative vision to transform skin. Three years and 40+ patents later, the Clarisonic Classic Cleansing System was launched in 2004. Since then, Clarisonic has continued to grow and innovate, bringing new ideas to life - including a number of Sonic Cleansing Brushes, the Clarisonic Opal® Sonic Infusion System, and targeted treatment solutions. Today, Clarisonic has surpassed that original vision, transforming the skin care industry.
The Clarisonic Promise: We promise to transform your skin. In fact, we guarantee it.
We're passionate about making high-quality products that deliver unsurpassed results, and we're confident that every product we offer is scientifically proven and able to provide immediate satisfaction, as well as long-term results.
