It's Awards Season

Apparently it’s still awards season—at least according to our Wake Up Eye Stick, Cooling + Cleansing Wipes, and Face Moisturizer + Eye Cream. In the past few months, we’ve been mentioned in publications like Men’s Health, Forbes, Men’s Fitness, Men’s Journal, USA Today, People Magazine, and more!

Since April, we’ve been hard at work developing new product ideas and growing the team from just 4 to now 7—plus an intern. We were also one of 10 companies selected to participate in Target’s Takeoff accelerator program where we received insight and mentorship on how to navigate the market as a men’s beauty startup.

Things are happening quickly and we’re so excited to share this with our amazing customer base who have allowed us to grow while offering insight from their experience. Our priority is always to our customers and we deeply value your feedback! (P.S. If you have any comments you’d like to share with us feel free to shoot an email to feedback@oarsandalps.com).

Thanks to this relentless focus on our customers and their feedback, we’ve been getting a consistent stream of accolades. For instance, our Face Moisturizer + Eye Cream won the Men’s Fitness Look Great Award! Regardless of your skin type, Face Moisturizer + Eye Cream will give you the benefits of moisturizing while protecting your skin’s lipid barrier to help keep moisture from evaporating. Keeping your skin hydrated is one of the best ways to prevent premature aging of the skin.

For those of you still wondering what the Wake Up Eye Stick actually is, let me tell you. It’s an under eye serum that directly helps with dark circles, puffiness, and helps with the prevention of wrinkles. In just 2 weeks 10 out of 12 people said it helped to reduce under eye puffiness. Not to mention, it also just won a Men’s Health Grooming Award!

Finally, the Cooling + Cleaning Wipes have been getting buzz from publications like Forbes and People Magazine. Forbes called out our wipes, saying they’re “so much more refreshing and sophisticated than soap and water.” We designed our wipes for a modern man whose active lifestyle needs a wipe to match—something you can easily throw in your pocket or bag while you’re out and need a quick way to freshen up on the road, whether you’re on a flight or a hike.

We currently have a range of 10 products, with upwards of 10 more currently in different phases of development. Over the next 6 months, we will be launching some of our new products while sharing updates on where we’re at with new product development. Your insight will directly help us know which direction to take, and we’re so excited to start sharing more with you all.

Take to the oars,

Zac
