N8iV Beauty Named to TIME's 2026 List of Most Influential Companies

Ruth-Ann Thorn, founder of N8iV Beauty, was named to TIME Magazine's 10 Most Influential Fashion and Beauty Companies of 2026, and c3 Communications, Inc. (c3) secured an NBC 7 San Diego segment covering the accomplishment. That's a huge deal, and we couldn't be happier for Ruth-Ann.

This NBC 7 segment did more than mark the recognition. It gave San Diego viewers a look at what makes N8iV Beauty different, from Ruth-Ann's roots as an enrolled member of the Rincon Band of Luiseño Indians to the traditional plant medicine and Indigenous ingredients, including acorn oil sourced from tribal land, behind every product.

For c3, this is the kind of moment good public relations should build on, taking a national honor like TIME’s recognition and making sure the story reaches both the broader audience and the local community that helped shape it.
