Pure Fun was started by Luna Roth, inspired by her daughter. “What do you do when your persistent daughter tries to convert you to an organic and healthier lifestyle?” Pure Fun uses all natural, kosher, vegan, gluten-free, fair trade ingredients in all of their candies. Furthermore, their cane sugar is “green cut” by hand and the leftover stalks are used to fuel boilers and generate electricity on earth-friendly farms. Most of their products are organic.
