Behind the Brand

Copina Co. was founded in 2020 by San Francisco native Carolyn Yachanin. The company started as a women’s wellness blog in 2016, which was when Carolyn began to experience severe health complications such as cystic scarring acne and digestion issues. She was fed up with being prescribed harsh medications like acutane and antibiotics, none of which ever helped, and her frustrations led her to start writing about holistic nutrition and plant-based eating. While blogging, Carolyn stumbled upon the practice of Ayurveda and the idea that skin health was connected to gut health. She grew increasingly interested in Ayurveda as she learned more, ultimately deciding to reach out to a doctor who specialized in herbal and internal medicine.

This doctor prescribed Carolyn a variety of plant acids and herbs that were targeted at improving not only skin texture, but also gut health issues. Carolyn started switching out her coffee for matcha and integrating plant botanicals and adaptogens into her diet. Her skin started improving, and she felt healthier than ever before. Realizing the true impact of plant medicine on her health, Carolyn wanted to share her discovery with more people. She consulted her doctor on creating a vegan collagen alternative and connected with herbalists to work on sourcing and dosing. Many months of product development later, Carolyn finalized her formulation and launched Copina Co. Her products quickly amassed a following, securing placements in Urban Outfitters and Erewhon Market just five months later. Today, Copina Co. continues to educate consumers on the incredible benefits of plant-based nutrition through its line of clean, delicious, and nourishing collagen-boosting drink blends.

Meet the Maker

What has been your most unforgettable moment (good or bad) while building your company? - +

I will never forget the feeling of seeing Copina Co. on shelf at Erewhon for the first time. We launched right at the beginning of the pandemic and had to shift our strategy extremely quickly. I've been an admirer of Erewhon for years and seeing our items on shelf there just a few months after launch was pretty cool.

What is your favorite thing to do in your free time? - +

I'm mildly obsessed with my rescue dog Stella, so I'm always taking her on adventures in San Diego with my husband. I really love moving my body and get so much energy from the natural world. It's what I need to recharge my batteries. My new favorite weekend activity is surfing... well, learning to surf! It's super challenging which is something that I enjoy. There's really nothing like the feeling of starting your day with a dip in the ocean.

What is an essential part of your daily routine? - +

I wake up quite early and meditate and journal with a cup our matcha most mornings. It's a beautiful way to start your day and helps me focus on the good things in life and remember what is important to me as I head into the craziness of the day.

What is your biggest pet peeve? - +

It's probably when we fail to ask questions and accept perceived limits at face value. I'm a believer in our capacity to surprise ourselves and others.

What is one thing most people don’t know about you? - +

I got recruited to row crew in college!

What do you want to be remembered for? - +

Making eating plants cool, making positivity our default, and illuminating the opportunities for all in our world.
