Mantl

MANTL is a premium men’s personal care brand that supports men during their hair loss journey, helping to empower men and uncover their confidence in any stage of balding. Founded by The Honest Company alumni, Peter Ricci and Irene Kong, alongside men’s health advocate, Karamo Brown, Mantl currently offers products specifically for the Face + Scalp, including a Cleanser, Age Defense Moisturizer, Invisible Daily SPF 30 and No-Shine Sheets. Mantl seeks to build a community of bald and balding men willing to stand against the outdated stigma of what it means to be bald and balding. Visit the community at mantlmen.com or follow Mantl on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and Medium. Mantl was co-founded by Karamo Brown, Cultural Expert on Netflix’s Queer Eye and men’s health advocate, Peter Ricci, Mantl CEO and Army veteran of the Iraq War, and Irene Kong, Mantl Chief Product Officer, both Honest Company alumni. Mantl raised a pre-seed round of $1 million led by Airwing Ventures in addition to receiving funding from Revolution’s Rise of the Rest® Seed Fund and numerous angel investments, including Brian Lee, a co-founder of The Honest Company. Mantl’s mission is to support and empower men who embrace their baldness, offering a sense of community, encouraging them to uncover their confidence and self-love, and finally leave behind the outdated ideas of bald and balding. Mantl was born from a personal connection amongst the co-founders who each knew someone — including themselves — who struggled with balding. After meeting at The Honest Company, Peter and Irene shared their stories — Peter’s own confrontation with baldness as an undergraduate at West Point, and Irene’s experience watching her father grapple with balding since she was a young girl. When Karamo met Peter and Irene, he had just reckoned with his baldness following a decision to debut his bald head at an awards show, and then through the experience of helping his son on his own balding journey. Mantl is positioned to create a new category in men’s personal care with a fresh approach, yet anchored in the founder’s deep understanding of grooming and personal care products. The Mantl line provides a lasting foundation of skincare and grooming. It uses premium and naturally-derived ingredients including aloe, willow herb, and ginger root; excluding sulphates, parabens, dyes, and synthetic fragrance. Mantl supports men and their loved ones on their hair loss journey — freeing them and encouraging them to embrace themselves as they are, by providing a personal care routine that fits their lifestyle.
