WHO WE ARE:
Briogeo is currently the fastest growing hair care product line at Sephora and has taken the prestige hair care world by storm through introducing clients to an assortment of clean - yet effective - hair care products for all hair texture types. Briogeo has won numerous awards, including accolades from Allure Best of Beauty / Reader's Choice, O' The Oprah Magazine, Seventeen Magazine, Essence Magazine, New Beauty, and recently won a coveted award for Best Indie Hair Care Brand by CEW. Briogeo products have been featured in global press publications such as Vogue, Allure, Elle, Glamour, Essence, Marie Claire, Forbes, and O' The Oprah Magazine...to name a few.
OUR POINT OF VIEW:
Briogeo was inspired by a family tradition of making natural beauty products at home and the belief that beautiful hair shouldn’t be compromised by harmful ingredients. Derived from the words "Brio" meaning “full of life” and "Geo" representing “earth and nature," the brand has taken natural hair care to a new horizon by combining carefully-selected, plant-based ingredients that deliver visible, measurable results. Free of SLS, parabens, sulfates, phthalates and silicones, each texture-specific formula is infused with the finest blends of natural plant and fruit extracts, oils, antioxidants and hair-healthy vitamins to bring out the beauty and vibrance in all hair textures.
WHERE WE ARE:
Briogeo currently retails globally, including U.S.A., U.A.E, South East Asia, Canada, Hong Kong, Europe/UK, and Africa. Briogeo products are sold worldwide in prestige retailers such as Sephora, Net-a-Porter, Anthropologie, Nordstrom, Bloomingdales, Cult Beauty, and several prestige beauty independents.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR:
Briogeo's rapid growth has been the catalyst for expanding our HQ team. We're currently looking to support our growth with highly motivated, intelligent, passionate, thoughtful, and hardworking individuals within Sales, Operations, Marketing, and Management roles.

Our Philosophy
We are committed to using only ingredients that either directly benefit the health of the skin or support the integrity of our formulations. We never take into account whether something is synthetic or natural, instead choosing ingredients based on biocompatibility.
The Suspicious 6
We believe six ubiquitous ingredients are at the root of almost every skin issue we see––essential oils, drying alcohols, silicones, chemical sunscreens, fragrances/dyes, SLS––and when theyre entirely removed from one’s routine (when you take a #drunkbreak🐘), skin can reset and return to a healthy, balanced state. That’s our ingredient-elimination philosophy for a total skin reset.
Skincare “Smoothies”
We think of our skincare routines as smoothies. They’re good for you, they’re easy to mix, and you can change up the recipe whenever you want. Plus, all of our products are biocompatible and bioavailable, which means they’re highly absorbable.
Drunk Head to Toe
Skin is skin—and whether we call it the scalp or the eye area or the legs, it can only function at its healthiest when it’s treated with smart, nourishing, biocompatible ingredients. So we decided to make a line of hair-care and body products that followed one simple idea: Respect the skin by only using ingredients it can get along with.

At Spindrift Beverage Co., were challenging peoples expectations of how good a beverage can be.
We believe taste is everything, nature gets it right, and real ingredients should be accessible to all.
Spindrift® is proudly made the hard way™. Since 2010, weve been doing things the hard way, the intentional way, the better albeit more challenging way, the right way - because, in the end, it’s worth it.
Our products debuted in artisan Boston-area shops and eateries, where they caught the eye of local foodies and craft beverage fans. Then, it grew slowly from a cult-like following to a wide, diverse fan base. Today, our beverages can be found and enjoyed nationwide, in US retailers, grocery stores, restaurants, and even ordered directly from our website.
Headquartered just outside of Boston, our team is obsessively involved with the entire process of creating Spindrift. From visiting the farms where we source the best-tasting ingredients to being on-site for every single production run to tasting every batch, this hands-on approach is a testament to our unwavering commitment to quality. We love the challenge that comes from working with real ingredients and making a product that stands out in a crowd.
And we’re still just getting started. Join us in making every beverage a positive force of nature.
