Hey everyone, I recently dug into a public profile of Neil Mehta, the founder and CEO of Royal, and thought it might spark a useful conversation here. From the publicly available profile I found, Neil started Royal in 2017 with the aim of offering body care and sexual hygiene products that are healthier, more transparent, and less binary than what had been on the market for a long time. According to that profile, the products are made with vegan, non-toxic, cruelty-free, and sustainably sourced ingredients, and the idea grew out of Neil’s own experience and research into gaps in sexual health products.
Before Royal, the profile notes Neil was involved in building direct-to-consumer brands and worked on regenerative medicine technology projects, including supporting the acquisition of a stem cell therapy technology and establishing partnerships with pharmaceutical companies. He also has academic background in biology and public health, which reportedly informed his interest in better health products. I’m curious how people here view health and wellness brands like Royal that try to mix lifestyle products with more mindful ingredient transparency, and whether anyone’s tried Royal themselves or seen it in the broader market. What stood out to you about this kind of approach, and does it feel different from other brands in similar spaces?
