West Hartford, CT - December 16, 2025 - Bare Life, a clean-label food and beverage company known for its award-winning organic, dairy-free, gluten-free, and vegan hot cocoa mixes, today announced continued national expansion across major online and retail channels amid rising consumer interest in specialty diets and simple-ingredient comfort foods.

As U.S. shoppers increasingly seek cleaner, minimally processed products, Bare Life’s hot cocoa lineup has experienced growing traction for its short ingredient lists and allergen-friendly formulation. Each mix features premium Ecuadorian cacao and organic coconut sugar and contains no dairy, gluten, gums, fillers, or artificial sweeteners. The company’s products align with a broad range of specialty diets, including vegan, kosher pareve, Paleo-friendly, and low-allergen lifestyles.

“Our goal has always been to make nostalgic comfort foods more accessible to individuals seeking simple, clean ingredients,” said Ali Lazowski, Founder and CEO of Bare Life. “This expansion reflects a wider shift in how people are choosing foods and beverages that fit their dietary needs while maintaining familiar flavors.”

Bare Life’s product lineup includes its flagship Chocolate Coconut Hot Cocoa Mix, along with seasonal and year-round varieties such as Peppermint, Pumpkin Spice, and a Frozen Hot Cocoa Frappe Mix designed for hot, iced, and blended creations. The assortment supports versatile use across beverages, desserts, and other recipe applications.

The company’s distribution footprint now spans Amazon, Walmart Online, Target Online, QVC, and more than 2,000 retail and food service locations. These include HomeGoods, select ShopRite locations, and Whole Foods Market stores in New England. Bare Life’s expanded presence aims to increase the availability of clean-label, allergen-friendly cocoa products for a broad consumer base.

Bare Life’s mission is rooted in Lazowski’s personal health journey. Her experience navigating cancer and chronic illness motivated the development of simple-ingredient alternatives to classic treats traditionally made with allergens and fillers. This focus continues to guide the brand’s product philosophy, emphasizing responsible cacao sourcing and ingredient transparency.

Recent research reflects broader market momentum:

• Nearly 70% of U.S. consumers now incorporate plant-based foods into their diets.

• The global dairy-free products market is projected to more than double from 2025 to 2034.

• Over half of Americans have followed a specific eating pattern or diet in the past year, highlighting increased interest in ingredient quality and wellness-driven food choices.

Bare Life reports that it will continue prioritizing clean-label formulas, ethical sourcing, and development of products that can be enjoyed across diverse dietary needs and everyday lifestyles.
