Founded by moms and business partners Caroline Kusnetz, Carly Kaufman, and Kathryn Beaton - experts in functional medicine, public health/education, and brand building, respectively - GRYT aims to empower a generation of teens and tweens toward the lifelong healthy habits that develop resilience, self-confidence, and success. On May 13, the serial entrepreneurs behind the brand will debut their initial line of skincare scientifically formulated specifically for youth during “Tap Into Your GRYT: A Mother’s Day Self Defense Event” for moms and teens, in partnership with Anderson Martial Arts and HeyMama, the community for moms in business. “Through our adolescent parent group, we learned that the tween/teen stage and puberty experience is one of the most stressful times for parents and kids, so we are thrilled to be partnering with GRYT on their launch. The launch event on May 13 at Anderson Martial Arts will incorporate fitness and positive healthy habits into an invigorating martial arts class offering moms and kids the opportunity to bond and learn together while having fun. GRYT is an incredible partner to HeyMama; we are working together on a series of programming and events in 2023 that provides the knowledge and confidence for parents and teens to build strong relationships and powerful futures together.” GRYT is instilling lasting self-confidence in tomorrow’s leaders: the nation’s youth.
