Brand

eos

eos (Evolution of Smooth) was founded in 2006 by Jonathan Teller, Sanjiv Mehra, and Craig Dubitsky with a mission to disrupt the lip care category through distinctive design and natural ingredients. The brand's iconic sphere-shaped lip balm, launched in 2009, became an instant pop culture phenomenon -- its form factor was so recognizable that it essentially functioned as a fashion accessory. eos rapidly became the number-one selling lip balm brand in the US, surpassing longtime category leader ChapStick. The brand has since expanded into hand lotions, body lotions, shave creams, and body washes, all maintaining the playful, fruit-forward aesthetic. eos products are widely available at mass retailers including Target, Walmart, and drugstore chains.
