Jan. 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/

free personal care brand of the Hain Celestial Group Inc., is proud
to announce its partnership with surf superstar and Olympic medal
hopeful, Caroline Marks. The brand
believes in creating products that help you look, feel and be your

partnership decision. Throughout 2021, Alba Botanica® and Caroline

confidence, determination, excellence, and true beauty, all
qualities that are valued and celebrated by the Alba Botanica®
brand.
"We are absolutely delighted to have Caroline Marks join the Alba Botanica® family,"
said Lisa Coker, General Manager and
Vice President of Personal Care at Hain Celestial. "Not only has
she been incorporating our product into her daily routine for

the product choices she makes. We look forward to an empowering and
impactful collaboration."
Caroline is without a doubt destined for surfing greatness. At
just 18 years old, she has already established herself as a World
Title and Olympic Medal contender, as well as a role model for
young women across the globe. Having accomplished what most
surfers only dream of at such a young age, the sky's the limit.
Inspired by her love of the sport and tight-knit family, Caroline
is achieving her dreams while working to keep the ocean, her second
home, clean and safe.
Caroline Marks shared, "I'm so
excited to be working with the Alba Botanica® brand this year! The
sun and surf have always been part of my life, and it's important
to me that the products I use offer the protection my skin needs
while also featuring biodegradable, reef friendly formulas. I've
always loved Alba Botanica® products and couldn't be happier to
partner with a brand that has been at the forefront of making
products that are better for you, and better for the
world."
Alba Botanica® is the #1 suncare brand in the natural channel*
and free of oxybenzone and octinoxate which are ingredients
identified to have potential adverse impacts to coral reefs, a
standard that already meets the new sunscreen requirements in
Hawaii and Key West. All sunscreen
formulas are also biodegradable, meaning the formulas have been
tested according to industry standards and shown to break down in
nature to minimize their impact on the Earth.

About Caroline Marks
At just 18 years old, Caroline
Marks' naturally powerful style in the water has been
compared to perennial powerhouses Carissa
Moore and Mark Occhilupo.
With an impressive list of record-breaking accolades under her belt
already, Caroline is on track to be one of the most decorated
surfers in history.
Caroline became the youngest surfer ever chosen for the
USA National Team at age 11, and
the following year, she tied Carissa
Moore's record as the youngest NSSA Open Women's Champion.
In 2015 she went on to secure her second NSSA Open Women's title,
earn a pair of NSSA Open and Explorer Girls titles, and became the
youngest-ever U.S. Open Champion with the Pro Junior Title. Coming
off those impressive feats, she was awarded a wildcard spot in the
2015 Swatch Women's Pro at Lower Trestles, placing her alongside
the women on the World Championship Tour as the youngest wildcard
competitor in the history of the World Surf League.
Caroline's success continued into 2016, as she took home her 2nd
consecutive Vans US Open Pro Junior title and became the first
Girls U16 Gold Medalist for Team USA in the history of the ISA World Games.
With that feat, she became the first American ISA Gold Medalist of
the Olympic Era. In 2017 at the age of 15, Caroline made history as
the youngest person, male or female, to qualify for the WSL
Championship Tour. She then went on to take home the "Rookie of the
Year" award in 2018, her first year on tour. In 2019 Caroline
continued to make history with two Championship Tour Event wins,
ultimately finishing the season ranked second in the world and
earning a spot on the inaugural US Olympic Surf team.
