Top Episodes Quotes
- “When we first started the company, you go and you walk in like a CV's or Rite Aid or Walgreens, right? That's kind of your default. If. If I need a first aid product or a skin and wound repair product, I'm going to go to a pharmacy. Most people go in there and you stand there and you go, these are, they're terrible products. But it's all commoditized. It's owned by billion dollar Johnson and Johnson, proctors and gambles of the world. And we just looked at it and we said, this isn't where we belong.“ by Justin Gardner
- “I think when you're talking in terms of skin and wound repair, first aid, I always tell people to stay away from synthetic antibiotics. So that's like a triple antibiotic ointment. And specifically, one of those synthetic antibiotics is neomycin. So, neomycin, I think it's about ten to 20% of people have an allergic reaction to that.“ by Justin Gardner
- “So I don't think people realize when they're trying to heal these or keep their kids free from infection, what they're actually putting on, on their skin.“ by Justin Gardner
