ABOUT US

Ancient + Brave is a mission driven wellness brand, founded in 2018 by Kate Prince who saw a gap in the market for sustainable products which support women’s health and wellness. From the start Kate wanted the company to be unique, creating innovative formulas with targeted health benefits. The elements of daily ritual and ancestral health are integral to the brand.

As a B-Corp, Ancient + Brave meets the highest standards of social and environmental impact. In June 2024, we were named 5th in The Sunday Times 100 fastest-growing private companies - our brand has developed an incredible following and following investment from Piper, is ready to scale in the UK and internationally.
