Problem statement

The $600 Billion global menopausal market is currently underserving women.
On one hand, Minoxidil-based topical products aggravate the very problem they're claiming to solve: scalp itchiness, hair fall alongside side-effects like nausea, palpitations, dizziness, to name only a few.
On the other hand, there are a very few natural topicals that also promote holistic wellness (Stripes By Naomi Watts is a notable one).
Cria is addressing two markets: the US and India ($20B, $16B respectively). In the US, we claim first mover advantage in the spa/boutique hotel category.
In India, we also claim another first mover advantage in the menopausal category. In India, we're partnering with the "Salon Man Of India" (Forbes, 2019), responsible for many firsts in the salon category including but not limited to: creating the first Unisex Salon with showroom styled ambience and launched hair, skin, makeup academies for professional education.
Most importantly, he is beloved within Bollywood by such celebrities as Simi Grewal (called "Diane Sawyer of India") and Gauri Khan (entrepreneur and wife of Bollywood superstar, Shah Rukh Khan). Total IG following: ~5M.
