In this edition of Empowered Women Empower, join us for a peek inside the inspiring world of Melissa Bolona, founder and CEO of Beauty & the Broth, a beauty and wellness brand offering shelf-stable, direct-to-consumer bone broth that’s care-free, convenient, and customizable. Read on to meet Melissa, and discover why you need to try Beauty & the Broth!
Growing up in both the United States and Peru, Melissa Bolona’s immersion in dual cultures led her to appreciate various approaches to natural beauty and expressions of creativity. After completing education in International Marketing in Paris, she decided to pursue acting and went on to lead a successful career alongside many A-list actors in Hollywood and starring in more than 20 films.
Working many years in the creative industry led to Melissa feeling exhausted and unmotivated. Searching for a cure in all the wrong places, Melissa found herself at home with her family where her sister introduced her to bone broth. She immediately saw results, finding her energy levels increased, gut-health improved, and her mind clear with purpose.
Melissa soon got down to business in her own kitchen, testing countless ratios and recipes and figuring out a way to bring flavorful, collagen-rich bone broth to the masses. A natural entrepreneur, her mission is to provide convenient access to this magical elixir so that everyone has an opportunity to experience its benefits.
After a year of development and perfecting, Beauty & the Broth launched in late 2020, delivering holistic healing and beauty both inside and out.
Melissa currently lives and works in Los Angeles, California. In her spare time, she enjoys pilates, cycling, playing chess and backgammon, taking her pups to the park, and also continues her longtime philanthropic endeavors.
