NALA - Free-From Natural Deodorant

The Origins of Nala

In 2013, we lost a vital member of our family to cancer.

Alan – father, husband, friend, and mentor – whose energy was contagious and had a tendency towards larger than life ideas – was claimed by stage 4 non-small cell lung cancer. It felt too cruel and it definitely felt too soon to lose someone deserving of so much more life.

Deep loss inspired deeper inquiry, and as we waded through the realities of health and wellbeing, Nala grew from an idea into a necessity. We became incapable of ignoring an issue that rattled us deep within – a value we carry forth into what Nala stands for today.

Leveraging our backgrounds in biotech engineering and technology, our goals are twofold:

1. Change the way we, as a society, view health & self care by providing high quality products free from negative side effects.

2. End the meaningless suffering that comes from losing loved ones too soon.
