Caring Brands is an early-stage consumer wellness company that develops and sells OTC and cosmetic skin care and hair care products. The company currently has two products on the market at minimal commercial scale. The first, Hair Enzyme Booster (JW-700), is a topical cosmetic that boosts the sulfotransferase enzyme activity needed for minoxidil (an FDA-approved hair loss treatment) to be effective — it must be used alongside minoxidil and is sold on Amazon in the U.S. and through a licensee in India. The second, Photocil, is a topical UV filter used to treat vitiligo and psoriasis by allowing therapeutic UV wavelengths to reach the skin; it is sold in India through a licensee and is targeted for a U.S. relaunch in 2026 after a failed initial Amazon launch. Two products are in development: CB-101, an OTC eczema treatment targeted for a U.S. online launch in Q2 2026, and NoStingz, a sunscreen designed to protect against UV rays and jellyfish stings with no established launch timeline. Caring Brands sells directly to consumers via Amazon and its own e-commerce platform, and licenses products to regional partners in exchange for royalties. Key licensing deals include agreements covering India and over 30 territories in Asia, the Middle East, and Africa, and an exclusive deal with Taisho Pharmaceutical for Japan. The company has only three full-time employees and has generated nominal revenues to date.
