OUR STORY
SKINNYDIPPED WAS FOUNDED
BY US, A MOM AND DAUGHTER IN SEATTLE.
1994 - 2012
It began with our friend Josh Dickerson, who blazed bright and brilliant through our lives in 2012 before succumbing to a rare sarcoma at the age of eighteen.
A young person’s death stops you in your tracks. It makes you reconsider your own life’s priorities. We had always been a close family, but we had scattered here and there and like a lot of people, we were busy.
Time with the ones you love is a precious, fleeting thing and we wanted more of it. So we started a business together.
SKINNYDIPPED STARTED
AT THE KITCHEN TABLE
AT THE KITCHEN TABLE
That our company would be centered around food was obvious. For us—family, friends, food and love are all tangled up. It gets a little messy sometimes, like the way a kitchen is pleasantly chaotic when everyone is whizzing around while whipping up something delicious.
Along with a couple of best friends, we spent years perfecting our SkinnyDipped almonds. These were the first in our line of balanced, healthy and insanely delicious snacks. We hope they give you and the ones you love as much happiness as they give us.
HAPPIER AND HEALTHIER,
THAT'S OUR GOAL
THAT'S OUR GOAL
We craft snacks that nourish your body and spirit. We believe everyone deserves to eat the kind of delicious, nutritious and clean food we’re fortunate enough to share with our own families and friends. As a women-founded company, we are committed to raising up and supporting women and the children they care for in both our local communities and around the world. Because no one, especially a child, deserves to go without love or food.
WE BELIEVE IN
Empowering mothers
and their children

Supporting women is a powerful catalyst for change. We’re donating $400,000 to empower women through entrepreneurship programs in vulnerable communities in impoverished South Sudan through our partnership with the Whitaker Peace and Development Initiative. On the local level we continuously donate hundreds of thousands of healthy snacks to women’s shelters and after school programs for children in at risk communities.
Respecting
Our Planet
More Info Less
We’re committed to working toward a more environmentally sustainable business. 100% of our almonds are sourced from bee-friendly farms. Most of our products are shipped in curbside recyclable boxes and compostable insulation.
Doing better,
together

We believe even the tiniest or most “out there” idea can be significant and powerful. This results in better snacks–and a better version of us. Healthier food should be accessible to the many, not the few. Our SkinnyDipped team receives paid days off each year to volunteer at an organization of their choice.
MEET THE
FEMALE FOUNDERS.
VAL GRIFFITH
FOUNDER
Val, circa 1987 when she was pregnant with SkinnyDipped CEO, Breezy. Her dad is her inspiration. No matter what he whipped up, he enjoyed every bite and so taught Val that making and sharing good food is an act of love.
"My dad is my inspiration. He was the most generous person I’ve ever known. No matter what I whipped up, he was delighted, and savored every crumb. He taught me that making, sharing and eating good food is an act of love."
Cocoa Almonds
Breezy Griffith
FOUNDER
Wild Things’ CEO, circa 1990. From the earliest days she has had an adventurous spirit and a can-do attitude.
"Building this brand alongside my mom, my best friends, and a team that's become family - that's the dream, and we're living it."
Almonds
Lizzie Resta
CO-FOUNDER
The original Wild Things. Lizzie has been Breezy’s partner in crime ever since the first day of preschool when one found the other hiding in a cupboard. The 2 spent their childhood concocting lots of stuff their parents were required to eat, and running sidewalk stands their parents were required to fund. Lizzie is our secret weapon.
"We started as friends experimenting in a kitchen, and we never really grew out of it even as everything around us grew. That's the part I love most."
Peanut Butter Almonds
Chrissy Haller
Co-Founder
Colorado girl who brings sunshine with her wherever she goes. And trouble. The good kind. Loves food. She and Breezy found each other in NYC during a wave of kale and quinoa and bonded over burgers. Rebel at heart, she’s building one of the fastest growing women-founded businesses in the country. A word of advice: don’t try to tell her no and don’t mess with her when she’s hungry.
"Everything we’ve ever made comes with lots of laughter. That's still the secret ingredient."
