Background
Thaggard grew up in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and graduated from Louisiana State University in 1993 with a bachelor's degree in education [2]. She taught third grade in Baton Rouge for one year before becoming a performing harpist for most of her 20's [2] [3] . In 2007, Thaggard founded Supergoop!, with the intention of providing sunblock to local public schools [3] . At that time, the US Food and Drug Administration regulated SPF as an over-the-counter drug and would not allow it in public schools without a doctor's note [4] . Instead, Thaggard launched a feel-good SPF and the Ounce by Ounce program that donates SPF to public schools around the country [4] . Thaggard currently resides in San Antonio, Texas with her husband and two children, Emery and Will [2].
Awards and recognitions
Thaggard won the American Academy of Dermatology’s Gold Triangle Award for Sun Safety Education in 2007 [3] [5]. In addition, Supergoop! Has been included in Allure's “Best of Beauty” list for four years in a row [4]. In 2012, Supergoop! Won a CEW (Cosmetic Executive Women) Beauty Award for “Best Indie Beauty Brand” [4].
