Kara Goldin’s energy levels had dropped & her skin developed terrible adult acne, which she never had as a teenager. She later realized she was drinking a lot of unhealthy diet soda affecting her health. And that's when the idea of Hint hit home.

Kara Goldin is the founder & CEO of Hint Inc. a healthy lifestyle brand that produces leading award-winning unsweetened flavored water as well as now scented sunscreen that's oxybenzone and paraben-free. Kara has received numerous accolades including being named EY Entrepreneur of the Year in 2017 in Northern California, one of Instyles 2019 Badass 50, and one of Fortune's Most Powerful Women Entrepreneurs.
