Our guest blogger today is our member Ira Kaganovsky Green, with Freedom Brands.  Thank you, Ira, for sharing your journey in creating your company and your own story.

FREEDOM was born not just from a desire to create clean products for my friends battling breast cancer but also to show my three young daughters that women can achieve anything they set their minds to. Kids may not always listen to what we say, but they watch everything we do (and post on TikTok, lol).

As an immigrant from the former Soviet Union (now Ukraine), I was fortunate to have parents who always told me I could accomplish anything I dreamed of. Little did they know—I actually believed them!

FREEDOM is here!

After selling my first company, I was on a mission to transform the hospitality industry by offering cleaner, safer products. our Skin is our largest organ. We started with spa amenities, and after working with over 300 spas, a hotel approached us with a unique request: to create a clean makeup remover so their  towels were not getting ruined. That’s when I discovered that even a simple makeup wipe contained parabens (the most popular one had 5 of them in 1 wipe), perfumes, and countless other harmful ingredients.

Fast forward two years, and here we are—proudly operating in the hotel capital of the world, partnering with multiple properties on the Las Vegas Strip and hundreds more beyond. Thanks to our distribution through Tahoe Supply, Guest Supply, and Ready Care, we provide compostable, chemical-free amenity solutions for hotels and their guests. Best of all, we stay true to our mission by giving back to Las Vegas Breast Cancer Warriors, bringing everything full circle. Not bad for a little girl from the Soviet Union who learned English by watching The Flintstones—Yabadabadooo!

Our mission is simple: to help people live healthier, one swipe at a time. That’s FREEDOM!

As a women-owned business, we don’t just celebrate women this month—we celebrate them every single day.
