Tula

Tula was founded in 2014 by Dr. Roshini Raj, a board-certified gastroenterologist and gut health specialist who recognized the connection between the body's microbiome and skin health. The brand was one of the first to center its formulations on probiotic extracts, using beneficial bacteria-derived ingredients to support the skin's natural microbiome and barrier function. Tula's approach was prescient -- the gut-skin axis and microbiome skincare have since become major industry trends. Procter & Gamble acquired Tula in 2022, significantly expanding its retail distribution. The Cult Classic Purifying Face Cleanser and Protect + Glow Daily Sunscreen Filter became hero products.
