This wellness brand, founded by Chervin Jafarieh, is rooted in five pillars: transparency, knowledge, community, sustainability, and excellence. Its Liposomal Vitamin C is a fan favorite with good reason – this highly absorbable blend of non-GMO L-Ascorbic Acid and Sodium Ascorbate supports immune function, while the added vitamin B7 (aka, Biotin) supports hair, skin, and nail health.
