Every Friday on our Instagram, we feature different women-owned, BIPOC, or LGBTQ+ Portland-based small businesses. Here’s a roundup of the businesses that we featured in October — we hope that you love them as much as we do! 

Natalia Eve Art

Zoma Tonics

Zoma Tonics was created by Tus Henry and represents the intersection of ancient American Indian wisdom with modern knowledge. When his grandmother began struggling with arthritic pain, Tus formulated Mobility Balm, made with whole plant hemp extract, essential oil and natural botanicals. The result was remarkable — she was soon back to doing the activities she loves. In the years that followed, Tus has worked with doctors and mentors to continue refining his product and business.
