At the heart of Hair Gain is AnaGain™, a clinically proven ingredient derived from organic pea shoots, designed to reduce hair fall, promote regrowth, and strengthen hair.

Hello Sunday SPF
At Hello Sunday, SPF isn’t just for holidays—it’s for every single day. UV damage is a year-round threat, even on cloudy days, yet daily SPF is often overlooked, uncomfortable, or inaccessible.
Founder Amy, inspired by her time in sun-soaked Australia, set out to change that. While she couldn’t bring back Bondi Beach, she brought her expertise in effortless, affordable SPF that fits seamlessly into everyday skincare.
Hello Sunday bridges the gap between suncare and skincare, combining broad-spectrum protection with nourishing ingredients—so SPF becomes a daily essential, not just a summer afterthought.

Founded by a sole female entrepreneur, The Good Grain Overnight Oats is proving that healthier choices can be effortless, delicious, and make you feel your best at the same time.
ChicP
ChicP is on a mission to tackle food waste by transforming surplus vegetables into delicious, sustainable, plant-based snacks. Supporting British farmers and using eco-friendly packaging, their range includes zero-waste chilled hummus, the UK’s first fridge-less hummus, and convenient snack packs.
Made from fresh ingredients, ChicP hummus blends creamy chickpeas, tahini, and olive oil into bold flavours like Beetroot & Horseradish and Truffle Hummus. Their Fridge-less Snack Pots offer a long-lasting, portable alternative, while the new Chilled Snack Packs pair hummus with gluten-free tortilla chips, making healthy, sustainable snacking easier than ever.
Tigers Eye
After years of training in unsupportive sports bras, Rebeka Polgar suffered ligament damage, leading to reconstructive breast surgery. Told to avoid high-impact sports, she refused to accept limits. Frustrated by the lack of comfortable yet supportive options, she saw an even greater need among women in the military.
Determined to make a change, she founded Tigers Eye, working with breast health experts, sports scientists, and female veterans to create a high-impact sports bra backed by science. Named after her birthstone, Tigers Eye symbolizes the strength and resilience of the women it supports—whether in the gym, the ring, or on the frontlines.
