Associate Manager, Purchasing & Production
TULA is a leader in clinically proven, probiotic extract-powered skincare. Founder Dr. Roshini Raj has studied the power of probiotics in both beauty & wellness for more than 20 years after graduating from Harvard and New York University. Dr. Raj had a lightbulb moment after seeing the life-changing impact probiotics in natural diet & supplements had on her patients’ internal health: Not only were they feeling better, but their skin seemed to be glowing. In 2014, she launched TULA—meaning “balance” in Sanskrit—by applying the science from her medical knowledge to skincare with the goal of restoring her patients' confidence.
TULA’s products feature the brand’s proprietary S6Pro Complex, a patent-pending blend of three probiotic extracts and prebiotics that help maintain skin balance, calm the look of irritation, plus nourish and strengthen the skin barrier. See the difference TULA can make for skin so healthy it glows™. For more information and the latest news on TULA Skincare, visit www.tula.com.
