Frederick, Maryland — October 6, 2026 — TOA Waters, a luxury self-care brand creating bath, body, and home products designed to make everyday moments of relaxation more inclusive, is proud to announce that it has been recertified as a Certified LGBT Business Enterprise® (Certified LGBTBE®) by the National LGBTQ+ & Allied Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC).
The recertification reaffirms TOA Waters' commitment to building a business that creates high-quality self-care products, while challenging traditional expectations around who self-care products are made for and how they are marketed.
“Receiving our NGLCC recertification is incredibly meaningful to TOA Waters,” said Javier Folgar, Founder and Owner of TOA Waters. “We want to build a successful, sustainable company that creates products people love while helping demonstrate that there is a place for everyone in the world of self-care.”
TOA Waters was created with a simple belief: self-care should be for everyone. The brand has grown from its roots as a bubble bath company into a broader self-care and lifestyle brand offering bubble baths, liquid bath bombs (world's first and only), body washes, room and linen sprays, and curated gift sets.
As a Certified LGBT Business Enterprise®, TOA Waters joins a national network of LGBTQ+-owned businesses recognized through NGLCC's Supplier Inclusion Initiative. NGLCC certification verifies that a business is owned, operated, and controlled by an LGBTQ+ individual or individuals and provides certified businesses with opportunities to connect with corporate partners and other certified suppliers.
“We are so pleased to welcome TOA Waters to the ever-expanding network of NGLCC certified suppliers,” said NGLCC Co-Founder & President Justin Nelson and Co-Founder and CEO Chance Mitchell. “According to NGLCC’s groundbreaking America’s LGBTQ+ Economy report, America’s estimated 1.4 million LGBTQ+ business owners, many of them NGLCC certified, add over $1.7 trillion to the GDP and create tens of thousands of new jobs. We are proud to count TOA Waters among those who prove every day that LGBTQ+ and allied businesses are the future of the American economy.”
“TOA Waters is now an active participant in the NGLCC network, able to take advantage of the vast educational opportunities promoted by the NGLCC and work to foster business-to-business relationships with other certified suppliers and allied companies worldwide throughout the year and especially at the NGLCC International Business & Leadership Conference. Business leaders in our community continually redefine industries and shatter stereotypes.”
