Hi, were Cadence 👋🏾 We design products for all the life that can be lived when youre not stressing over maintaining your routines. Our mission is to encourage people to reset and elevate expectations of their products and the companies behind them, beginning with our Capsule Flex System. Launched after hundreds of prototypes and a patent, our first-of-its-kind modular, refillable, customizable, and leakproof Capsules are made with a blend of 50% recycled materials (20% recycled ocean-bound plastic, 30% scrap material from the manufacturing process), designed to help you carry your routines and stay in rhythm, home and away. The Capsules are TSA-compliant, and perfect for both the avid “carry-on only” traveler as well as the “bring it all” passenger. They are also FDA-approved for anything from supplements to spices, and are fortified with an industrial-strength seal, multi-rotational threads, and double-walled protection to keep your product and your bag safe.
