Sr. Brand Manager
Innovation and Shopper Marketing
About Us
Have you ever wondered why we rely on chemicals and artificial ingredients to maintain our body’s health? We have. After years of battling on-and-off tonsillitis, our founder Carly Stein finally found relief in an ingredient called propolis: a combination of tree and plant resin created by bees to protect the hive. We aren’t just creating cleaner alternatives to the traditional medicine cabinet; we’re creating all-around cleaner products. We merge modern science with natural medicine to prove that clean medicine can actually work. We believe that today’s most common health problems can be solved with better-for-you ingredients found in nature. We source the highest-quality ingredients, and we never water them down with artificial extras, unwanted ingredients or calories. We care about the world around us and the people in it. It’s what drives our entire brand..
