About SkinnyDipped
Located in Seattle, SkinnyDipped was founded by a mom and daughter and two best friends after realizing that nothing is more important than time spent with the ones you love. Starting out of their kitchen, the four women created SkinnyDipped: thinly dipped chocolate almonds that are exceptionally good-for-you and ridiculously delicious. We’re proud to remain a women-led company driven by the belief that healthy snacking should make both you and your body happy.
Our Mission
We craft food that nourishes your body and your spirit. We believe everyone deserves clean, delicious snacks—the kind we proudly share with our own families. As a women-founded company, we’re committed to uplifting women and the children they care for in our local communities and around the world, because no one—especially a child—should go without love or food.
A Bit More About Us
We’re a female-founded success story. This alone—regardless of the industry—requires true grit, mettle, and perseverance. We operate with an ethos that any idea is plausible until proven otherwise. A bold flavor combo with a totally new production method? Let’s try it. A major change to improve quality, even if it’s hard? We’ll make it happen. We lead with conviction, not hesitation. The world can be intimidating, but we stay curious, driven, and brave.
