In this episode, I talk to Neil Mehta, founder of Royal, a personal care and sexual wellness product brand aimed to de-stigmatize sex in a healthy, luxurious way. Since launch, Royal has deployed multiple product lines of all-natural condoms, an organic lubricant, and vitamin E & aloe infused body wipes.
Neil Mehta is an entrepreneur with a passion for regenerative medicine, biotechnologies, and sexual wellness. Since deciding to forgo medical school after graduating from Ohio State University, Neil pursued a Master’s in Public Health degree from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City. After graduation, he passed on medical school for a second time to enter the start-up world launching a healthcare consulting business and a biotech incubator. As his businesses began to grow, he became fascinated with the sexual wellness and personal care industry and how much of what is offered to customers hasn’t been changed or advanced in decades. In 2016, Neil launched Royal, a personal care and sexual wellness product brand aimed to de-stigmatize sex in a healthy, luxurious way. Since launch, Royal has deployed multiple product lines of all-natural condoms, an organic lubricant, and vitamin E & aloe infused body wipes. Royal has been featured in many mainstream publications and was named one of the top online sexual health brands in the US.
In this episode, we discuss:
· How and why as he says, “an Indian boy from Ohio” decided to go into the business of sexual health.
· The restrictions and barriers when it comes to advertising sexual health products.
· The benefits of flavored condoms and why you might want to give them a try.
· How we don’t really know what we’ve been putting in our bodies because the FDA and other regulatory bodies do not require condom companies to disclose their ingredients.
· Where latex comes from and why made in America might not be a good thing in this case.
· Why and when silicone vs. water-based matters in lubricants.
· What vegan-friendly means in the condom world and where meat derived products are typically used in the manufacturing process.
