"The brand is launching a refillable body wash. It’s a gel cleanser that comes as a powder. The first time you order, you can get a Forever Bottle, along with a sachet of powder. Add it to water and shake, leave it for an hour or so to “activate” and it’s ready to go — all while eliminating plastic waste and without having to spend the extra resources shipping water from the manufacturer to your door.

The company says its product is “formulated for people and the planet, using only natural and safe ingredients like Oat, Vitamin E, Vitamin B, Kaolin Clay and Coconut Acid.” Further bolstering its environmental cred, it is sulfate-free, paraben-free, phthalate-free, aluminum and silicone-free, and doesn’t include dyes or petroleum-based ingredients."

The “first cell-cultured seafood company” has just closed its Series B funding, totaling $34 million!

"Next up is finalizing construction of an 11,000-square-foot pilot facility for Finless to scale up production of cell-cultured bluefin tuna for U.S. regulatory approval and sales to consumers. Finless plans to launch plant-based tuna nationally in the United States this year, says Michael Selden, CEO and cofounder with Brian Wyrwas.

'This doubles the size of our current location ... and almost quadruples the size of our current (research and development) space,' Selden says of the pilot facility. Construction is expected to finish in the first half of 2022.

Meanwhile, plant-based Finless tuna is being produced near the company’s Emeryville headquarters, 'reducing transport and climate miles as well as supporting local jobs,' Selden says.

It only took about four years for Nabis LLC co-CEOs Vince Ning and Jun S. Lee to build up their company to $500 million in sales and 1,300 retail customers as the largest wholesale cannabis platform in California.

Now they’re not slowing down at all, with plans to apply for a distribution license in New York as the state readies its adult use market by preparing to award licenses in coming months.

While California is widely known as the U.S.’s cannabis giant, with $7 billion in legal sales projected by 2025, New York is also a massive population center as well — some projections estimate the state will see $7 billion in cannabis sales by 2025.

With private capital providers eyeing the e-commerce, cannabis and logistics sectors, Nabis continues to generate incoming calls from potential investors as it takes aim at New York, Ning said.
