How about candy that's good for your teeth?

Eighth grader Alina Morse invented a candy that cleans your teeth.

She is the #1 tooth-friendly candy in the USA and quickly expanded internationally, after launching in 2015 at age nine. Days ahead of entering the eighth grade, her image on the cover of Entrepreneur shined a bright light on the next generation of entrepreneurs that are already building thriving, innovative businesses.

Alina asked, "why can't we make a candy that's delicious and good for your teeth?" And, Zolli Candy was born. Earlier this year, she announced live on CNN from the New York Stock Exchange floor her intention to give away 1 Million of her products in 2018 as part of her efforts to support oral health education in schools.

Family Business: Alina hired away her dad in Jan. 2018 to work for her full-time. Her mom and her younger sister Lola also help with the business


Alina's candy are a natural, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan and non-GMO candy, containing xylitol and erythritol (healthy sugar alternatives), and certified sugar-free by Sugarwise. By helping raise the pH (a scale used to measure acidic or base qualities) in the mouth, Zolli Candy neutralize acid and help reduce the risk of tooth decay, dental caries and future development of cavities. Zolli's are sugar-free, gluten-free, vegan, dairy free, kosher and made with natural color and flavors in the USA.

Alina made history in February 2018, becoming presumably the youngest vendor for the world's #1 retailer, Walmart, as she hit the oral health section alongside the toothbrushes in all 4,600 of their storesDays before Halloween (2017), Alina's candies became the #1 sugar-free hard candy sold on Amazon. In May (2017), she launched her third product, Zaffi Taffy (in Dylan's Candy Bar), with the same teeth-cleaning and guilt-free ingredients of her signature product, Zollipops (launched in 2015 on Good Morning America), and her second line Zolli Drops (launched May 2016), with a splash at Dylan's Candy Bar, with Walmart, America's #1 grocer KROGER, Whole Foods, Dylan's Candy Bar, and on Amazon.

Alina is changing minds and candy eating patters. She's also on a mission to reduce tooth decay, the SINGLE most chronic condition facing kids in America today according to the US Surgeon General. She donates 10% of profits to fund an increase in oral health education in schools, as well as contributes her suckers to institutions and dentists who promote oral health education in addition to her partnership with Special Olympics. Alina's Zolli Candy is on the forefront of a category providing growth for retailers, and healthier options for consumers.


And while xylitol lollipops have been around for a while, they had issues, they melted, had short shelf life, limited distribution (mostly to dentists only) and did not taste like their sugary counterpart. Zolli Candy did not settle for this, they kept innovating, developed proprietary processes, incorporated better premium cleaner ingredients, removed all primary allergens and established their smile-friendly creation as the healthy functional candy leader. 

Go ahead and celebrate like no other, it's an healthy Halloween.

No more raisins.  Unless it's caramel, no more apples.  Don't be a party pooper.
