Mantl caters to bald, balding men

There’s a new personal care brand for men making waves in the industry.

Mantl, co-founded by “Queer Eye” star Karamo Brown, Peter Ricci and Irene Kong who are The Honest Company alumni, the brand aims to cater to men who are bald or balding.

Founded on a mission to support and empower men who embrace their baldness, the brand’s offerings include four face and scalp grooming products including a cleanser, moisturizer, daily SPF 30 and no-shine sheets, the company said.

“I am thrilled and humbled to establish Mantl alongside Peter and Irene; I believe our products are answering such a strong need for premium personal care made for the bald community,” co-founder Karamo Brown said. “My reputation and passion for supporting mental health extends to the development of Mantl — this brand catalyzes and nurtures a conversation around what it means to be an attractive man who is bald or balding, ultimately empowering men who are dealing with this reality.”

In addition, Mantl products use such ingredients as aloe, willow herb and ginger root, do not contain sulfates, parabens, dyes or synthetic fragrances, and are pH balances to help support the skin’s acid mantle, the company said.

“We developed this product line for an efficient experience, with an easy three step routine, while being suitable for all skin types,” chief product officer, Irene Kong said. “Using naturally-derived ingredients as well as carefully selecting what not to include in our formulas, we're providing men in all stages of balding with products that nourish and maintain a healthier face and scalp.”
