Why work with us?

We’re building a new kind of consumer biotech company, combining cutting-edge science

with best-in-class branding and storytelling. Our goal is not just to create effective products,

but to build brands people genuinely trust and love.

You’ll be working alongside a small, high-performing team with experience building and

scaling successful companies. This is a place where strong thinkers and builders can have

an outsized impact, grow quickly, and take on meaningful ownership.

Why NOT work with us?

Two reasons:

1. You’ll notice that the phrase “fast-paced” is in this job description multiple times.

Building an amazing, profitable company in a few years is not easy and we aren’t

here to pretend like it is (believe us, we’ve done this before). Startups can be

stressful and are not made for everyone, but on the flip-side extremely rewarding.

The best performers get a career boost more drastic than anything they could

imagine, but not everyone is fit for the job.

2. We sincerely believe in our mission to improve our customer’s quality of life and

deliver high-efficacy, cutting-edge products. Our team includes world-class scientists,

experienced product developers, and avid product-lovers, all laser focused on

delivering the best products on the market. If this doesn’t light you up, this role may

not be the right fit.
