Ahhh Sugar Sugar Announces Rebrand
To AUsugarsugar
Rebrand Expands Specialty Bath and Body Product Line and
Reflects Commitment to Autism Community
RALEIGH, N.C. -- Ahhh Sugar Sugar, a small-batch, handcrafted bath and body company, today announced its business rebrand to AUsugarsugar. The change to AUsugarsugar reflects the company’s connection and support for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder and other intellectual disabilities. As the company grows, its mission is to hire employees who are on the Spectrum, giving them opportunities for meaningful work and personal and professional growth.
AUsugarsugar has a nonprofit arm called Spare Some for Autism. The 501(c)3 aims to improve the quality of life for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Spare Some for Autism will help promote and support AUsugarsugar through proceeds, donations, marketing and recruiting.
“There is an increasing need for individuals on the spectrum and others with intellectual disabilities to find employment,” said Christina Jarvis, AUsugarsugar’s Director of Operations and Spare Some for Autism board member. “So many of these individuals just need a chance to showcase their unique skills. We plan to build an inclusive workforce by offering competitive and meaningful employment in an environment where individuals with special needs can thrive.”
New Bath Treats and Ordering Options
Since launching in 2015, Ahhh Sugar Sugar has steadily grown its web-based Monthly Box of Sugar subscription service through word of mouth advertising and a fiercely loyal clientele. Bath bombs, bath frostings, bubble bars and sugar scrubs are some of the most popular products that are available in a variety of enticing scents including Unicorn’s Breath and Aloha Beaches. The comprehensive rebrand includes a new logo, positioning and website featuring new products and ordering options.
“I’m excited for this opportunity to grow beyond our monthly subscriptions and give our “sugar babies” more of the products they love while giving back to the Autism community,” said Haley Szymonski, Ahhh Sugar Sugar Founder. Szymonski maintains ownership in the newly branded company and will serve as Creative Director. “Our customers can rely on the same handcrafted quality of our products, our commitment to ethical practices and our signature edgy and whimsical style.”
New Bath Product Celebrates Autism Awareness Month
AUsugarsugar will introduce a new bath bomb in April in support of Autism Awareness month. A percentage of sales from the AU piece bath bomb will go to Spare Some for Autism.
“We’re thrilled to kick-off our rebrand with the new Autism-inspired bath bomb. It’s our way to celebrate the uniqueness of every individual on the Spectrum,” said Szymonski.
Szymonski and Jarvis will share ownership of AUsugarsugar and are working on their HUB certificate for female-owned business distinction.
