Cardon co-founders Narae Chung and Jacqueline Oak.
News

Cardon

When skin-care aficionado Narae Chung WG17 and retail expert Jacqueline Oak WG17 met at Wharton, they got to wondering why the demand for Korean skin-care products in America came almost exclusively from women. This question became the catalyst for Cardon, a skin-care brand using high-quality Korean product formulations in simple and targeted ranges for men. The startup’s intuitive website and easy-to-understand products — each packed with ingredients for common skin concerns — make for a perfect introduction to the culture of skin care for a male demographic that’s largely uninitiated.

Shatterproof

Roughly one in three Americans today report that drugs have been a source of trouble for their family. After his son Brian took his own life amid a struggle with addiction, Gary Mendell WG94 founded Shatterproof to transform treatment and change how the public views substance-use disorders. Inspired by his loss, Mendell aims to end the stigma in America by shifting awareness toward a better comprehension of the realities of the disease and the current treatment system. Shatterproof is spurring change among health-care companies, communities, and legislatures — efforts that earlier this year garnered the nonprofit $5 million from philanthropist MacKenzie Scott to expand its work.

Alula

“There are few days that divide your life into two parts: before times and after times,” says Liya Shuster-Bier WG17, who knows firsthand you can’t possibly understand some experiences until you’ve lived through them. Her own battle with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma inspired her to start a centralized shop with products for those undergoing cancer treatments, ranging from cold packs to anti-nausea lozenges and post-op recovery kits. Alula handpicks the most useful, thoughtful, tried, and tested goods and also offers treatment-specific recommendations via text or phone — all geared toward making living with cancer more bearable.
