Company mission
To transform the way you feel about your skin through effective science-backed products and mental health advocacy.
Our take
More than 85 million Americans (one in four) suffer from chronic skin diseases such as eczema, hyperpigmentation, and psoriasis. Topicals is centered around solving chronic skin issues, providing transformative skin care products, and destigmatizing the way consumers talk about their skin conditions.
The company’s effective, science-backed products have reimagined flare-up treatment with ingredients and herbals that have been scientifically proven via third-party, peer-reviewed clinical studies. As the fastest-growing skincare brand at Sephora, Topicals has seen exponential sales growth year-over-year.
The company’s CAVU Consumer-led Series A funding round also saw participation from Gabrielle Union, Kelly Rowland, Hannah Bronfman, Bozoma Saint John, and Yvonne Orji. The funding will be used to boost inventory (as the company has experienced routine sell-outs), omnichannel content development, and hiring. The efficacy of its products and marketing have Topicals well set to see substantial future growth.
