At just 9 years old, Alina Morse had the idea to create sugar-free lollipops. As a young kid, her parents always warned her to not eat lollipops because they would rot her teeth. Because of those warnings, she started to wonder why there were no lollipops that were actually good for teeth. Between school and extracurricular activities, Alina started to mess with multiple different recipes that would not damage her teeth. At 9 years old she made the recipe that she stuck with and she began to manufacture her lollipops in Michigan. Her business is called Zollipops, which her little sister came up with. Zollipops became available for purchase in 2014. These lollipops are all-natural, gluten-free, sugar-free, and vegan. Alina wanted to make these lollipops so that everyone could enjoy them without having to worry about the potential of damaging their teeth.

As her business continued to develop and as she did more research, Alina found out that tooth decay is a chronic issue for school-aged children so she decided to do something about it. She created the Million Smiles Initiative and started to bring Zollipops into schools so that these children could still enjoy lollipops. As Zollipops continued to grow, Alina started to create a variety of candy. Zolli Candy now includes taffy, hard-drop candies, caramels, and gummies. All of this candy is safe for teeth and made from natural ingredients. Zolli Candy can be found on multiple social media platforms and are also in numerous stores worldwide. Whole Foods, Walmart, and Rite Aid are just a few of the many places where Zolli Candy is available for purchase. Zollipops have become so popular that even celebrities have been seen enjoying these unique lollipops! Alina has loved being an entrepreneur and helping children enjoy sweets. She is not planning on stopping her business anytime soon!
