SAN FRANCISCO, June 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Grove Collaborative, a leading digital-first brand and e-commerce platform for natural home and personal care products, announced today the acquisition of Sundaily, a category leader in ingestible skincare. Over the past three years, Grove Collaborative has launched its own brands of home and personal care products, including lines of tree-free paper, laundry care and vitamins. This latest expansion into ingestible skincare, with the acquisition of a brand known for evidence-based product innovation and better-for-you ingredients, signals Grove Collaborative's continued focus on and expansion of its wellness portfolio.

"At Grove, our long-term vision is that consumer products will become a positive force for human and environmental health," said Stuart Landesberg, co-founder & CEO of Grove Collaborative.

"From the start, our mission has been to improve customers' skin health by doing things differently. Grove shares our values, and we're excited by how this partnership will accelerate the positive impact we can have."
