About L.

L. makes nontoxic personal care products more accessible to all. For every product sold, one is distributed by a female entrepreneur in a developing country in need.

L. was founded by Talia Frenkel, a photojournalist who documented the effects of HIV/AIDS on women and girls. Talia was shocked by the preventable nature of the epidemic and the fact that today, AIDS is still the #1 killer of women of reproductive age globally. In the US, the lack of innovation in the condom category created an opportunity to re-engineer a product for the modern consumer. This inspired L.'s first creation: a 1 for 1 condom line.

Today, L. products can be found online with on-demand and subscription options, as well as in CVS, Target and Whole Foods. The 1 for 1 program provides holistic distribution in Uganda and Swaziland, the country with the highest HIV prevalence rate in the world.

L. has been called a "future-forward company" by Fast Company, a "sexy and bold statement" by USA Today, "a model of sustainable innovation" by Forbes and "a product that could change the lives of millions" by Vanity Fair. L. was also named "Best for the World 2015" by B Corp.
