But even though all these brands existed, none of them had truly dedicated their efforts towards skin health in a holistic way. It took her almost 10 years to heal and discover that achieving clear skin requires more than just external care. It involves external care, inner nourishment, and a peaceful mind, and scientific research can finally prove it. This led us to create...Nourished3 is not just a self-funded start-up with an idea and no outside capital; it holds immense potential in the $6.3 trillion wellness market.We redefine skincare by focusing on wellness in a unique way. We target biomarkers (positive and negative health indicators) to improve the skin microbiome, sleep, relaxation, nutrient absorption, digestion, hormone balance, and immunity while reducing acne, aging, inflammation, mood swings, and cortisol levels to ultimately support skin health and longevity.We've built a strong foundation of engaged supporters. Annie's strong customer connection through surveys shapes our product development, ensuring we deliver exactly what they want.We’re Disrupting the Industry—and Here’s the ProofWe’ve already achieved remarkable milestones, all without digital marketing spend or outside investment:✅ $1M in Lifetime Sales – 30,000 units sold purely through organic growth.✅ High Customer Loyalty \u0026amp; Retention – 82% Average Order Value with a 62% customer retention rate.✅ Clinically Backed \u0026amp; Patent-Pending Innovation – Setting new standards in efficacy.✅ Strong Community – 15,000+ customers and 15,000 email/SMS subscribers.✅ Impressive ROI – Turned a $250K investment into $1M in revenue—a 4x return.✅ Proven Product Demand – Each launch generates $80K-$120K in its first month.✅ Industry Outperformance – Built deep emotional connections with our customers while achieving product-market fit.✅ Organic Social Growth – A dedicated Instagram following of 26,000+, with 15% Gen Z and 67% millennials who value sustainability and clean beauty.✅ Sustainable Growth – Already breaking even, a rare feat at this stage.✅ Early Investor Interest – Currently in discussions with top venture funds for Series A.These milestones were achieved solely through our direct-to-consumer (DTC) model. With investment, we’re poised to scale further, achieve positive cash flow, and amplify our success. With nearly €1,000,000 in total sales and minimal digital marketing spend, we are already close to breakeven. Our gross margins reach up to 85%.__________________________________________________We’re not just a startup—we’re a global brand in the making, with headquarters in Los Angeles and Munich and a vision to make our wellness-focused products accessible worldwide.Our strategy is to disrupt the beauty industry by leveraging indie brand retailers, an omni-channel approach, and partnerships with wellness spas, hotels, and both online and offline retail channels.Phase 1 (2025): Building the FoundationFocus: Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) website sales with influencer marketing, paid ads, and partnerships with wellness spas and hotels.Goal: Expand our customer base from 7,000 to 25,000, driving $3.2M in revenue.Phase 2 (2026): Scaling Through Boutique RetailersFocus: Launch in boutique beauty and wellness stores and luxury department stores that value exclusivity and high-quality products.Goal: Achieve $7.1M in revenue by expanding our footprint in premium markets.Phase 3 (2027): Mainstream Market ExpansionFocus: Entry into major beauty retailers like Sephora and Douglas, backed by proven sales velocity and strong brand equity.Goal: Capture $15.5M in revenue by securing prime shelf placement in mainstream retail.Throughout each phase, we’ll leverage PR and influencer marketing across YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok to build brand awareness and customer loyalty.By taking a measured, phased approach, we’ll ensure sustainable growth, maximize our retail terms, and establish Nourished3 as a leader in the wellness-beauty industry.Instead of starting with major retailers and restrictive exclusivity agreements, we’re taking a strategic approach by launching with smaller retailers to validate our concept and demonstrate sales velocity. This will provide us with a proven track record, strengthening our negotiating position for favorable terms and prime shelf placement—key factors for success when entering major retailers like Sephora and Douglas.Future projections not guaranteed__________________________________________________The problem we address is undeniable and intensifies with each passing year, highlighting a growing need.Although numerous skincare products exist in this oversaturated market, most brands still focus only on topical standalone solutions, offering only short-term relief without addressing the root causes of problematic skin.Here’s Why a Holistic Skin-Gut-Brain Approach is Essential:Stress Starts the Cycle: Seeing acne in the mirror triggers stress, increasing cortisol levels.Cortisol Causes Gut Inflammation: Elevated cortisol disrupts hormonal balance and inflames the gut.Gut Imbalance Worsens: Hormonal disruption throws off your gut microbiome.Diet Plays a Role: An unbalanced diet can further disrupt the microbiome, weakening the immune system.Weakened Immunity Sparks Inflammation: This inflammation spreads through the body and bloodstream.Inflammation Creates Acne and Speeds Aging: Chronic inflammation not only causes breakouts but also accelerates skin aging.And the cycle repeats! Breaking free from this loop requires a holistic approach that addresses the interconnectedness of the skin, gut, and brain.__________________________________________________We offer everything you need for lasting skin health, longevity, and whole-body healing, all through clinically formulated and patented solutions under one brand. We tackle the root causes of problematic skin with a well-researched approach that prioritizes gut health and mental health alongside skin health, a concept known as Mind-Body Beauty, and Psycho-dermatology.Most brands can only capture a single market, but our unique approach enables us to thrive across all three. Moreover, we have the strongest buying power in the industry, backed by the highest spenders in the wellness market.In a market where consumers are increasingly mindful of their internal and external health, we're tapping into a combined market value of $6,3 trillion, with a significant focus on the $14 billion acne treatment sector.__________________________________________________We are changing the conversation around skincare by offer a better-priced, research-backed, all-encompassing solution with an innovative skin-gut-brain approach. The demand for holistic health and wellness across all five dimensions is stronger than ever. Our innovative skin-gut-brain approach fills a critical gap by seamlessly integrating all these dimensions into one solution__________________________________________________We are tailor-made for this challenge and well-equipped to drive success. Our growth team has deep expertise in product development, marketing, branding, community building, and scaling businesses within the skincare and wellness sector.Including an award-winning cosmetic chemist, nutraceutical expert and Naturopathic Doctor, gut microbiologist Dr. Amine, and HelloBiome, a clinical microbiome institution founded by Dr. Elsa Jungman, (patent co-inventor of K-18), all renowned for their knowledge on the skin-gut-brain axis. Together, we are developing coordinated formulations and conducting clinical trials that will help us promote healthier skin in the long term!__________________________________________________Our products are specifically designed to target biomarkers of sensitive and acne-prone skin, aiming to achieve clear skin in the long term. With the ultimate goal to:Our skincare products feature clinically studied, best-in-class ingredients with minimal to no water dilutions, non-comedogenic formulations, up to 70% active ingredients for exceptional effectiveness, 100% vegan and crystal-infused compositions, and proven efficacy backed by 3,000+ five-star reviews and a 62% returning customer rate!The First Clinically Studied Skin-Gut-Brain Health Company🔬 Unmatched Science \u0026amp; Innovation:High absorption, high bioavailability, and high nutrient density for superior results.Powered by cutting-edge technology + patent-pending formulations.Third-party tested for quality, safety, and efficacy.A full-spectrum approach—postbiotics, prebiotics, and probiotics for total skin and gut health.Combines multiple supplements into one convenient, high-absorption daily dose.Targeted supplements focused on gut and brain health, with the long-term goal of improving skin health.

Engineered for superior bioavailability (enhanced absorption), these products are backed by clinical trials and target specific biomarkers associated with skin, gut, and brain health.Breakthrough Capsule-in-Capsule TechnologyOuter Capsule: Contains vitamins, minerals, antioxidants (cell protectors), botanical extracts, and adaptogens (stress-relief herbs) in both liquid and solid forms.Inner Capsule: Houses skinbiotic and psychobiotic strains in powder form to support the gut-skin and gut-brain axis.This unique design promotes skin health from within, addressing the interconnected pathways between the gut, brain, and skin.The gut-brain-skin axis is a complex communication network that involves immune modulation through cytokines and pro-inflammatory markers. Our product enhances immunity, thereby supporting this essential axis. Additionally, the nervous system, through neurotransmitters, plays a crucial role in skin health by facilitating communication between the skin and the brain, all supported by our gut-focused formulation. With the addition of our holistic nutrient kit, the impact is anticipated to be even more remarkable.Our body consists of 90% Microbial Cells (Germs), and our Skinbiotics and Psychobiotics: Support the skin's microbiome by balancing beneficial bacteria, reducing issues like acne and irritation.Our 8-week (inner capsule) probiotics alone study underscores the transformative power in enhancing skin health by targeting gut and brain health.Post-Funding VisionWith funding, we’ll continue advancing research and development to validate and expand the benefits of our products. Our (N3) SKIN-GUT-BRAIN Kit will serve as the cornerstone for ongoing and new clinical studies, anticipated to demonstrate outcomes such as:Enhanced skin clarity and hydration.Improved gut microbiome balance.Reduced stress and cortisol levels.This strategic focus ensures our solutions are both clinically proven and market-ready, empowering customers to achieve truly transformative results.____________________________________________________________________________________________________We aim to scale our marketing spend from $0 to $560K, conservatively generating up to $4.9M in revenue over the next 18 months.Future projections not guaranteedWhy You Should Invest in Nourished3!Approximately 70% of the population suffers from unresolved skin issues.

In this scenario, is the company's monthly profit at $1000? Also, in the financial area of your page, interest has been mentioned; 2% per annum. Can you explain what this is about? Many thanks, Sara","author_name":"Sara Leena","votes":1,"created_at":"2024-10-01T10:55:49Z","canonical_url":"https://wefunder.com/nourished3#question-293358","answers":[{"id":293359,"entity_id":"wefunder:comment:293359","answer":"Hi Sara, Thank you for your thoughtful question. I’d be happy to clarify. The company's gross margins typically range between 65%-75%, so while our cost of goods sold is well-controlled, operational expenses have been higher than usual in recent months. This is primarily due to our ongoing fundraising efforts, which require external professionals for financial reviews and campaign management. Normally, our operational expenses are much lower. During the fundraising process, several additional costs arise, including legal fees for drafting agreements and ensuring regulatory compliance, accounting and financial reviews, marketing and PR expenses for promoting the campaign, and platform fees associated with crowdfunding. We’ve also incurred consulting and advisory fees, costs for compliance and regulatory filings, and expenses related to investor relations and communications. As shared on Wefunder, The Wellness Holding Inc. (the raising entity) was recently established, and the financial figures reflect performance from February to July 2024 following the consolidation of Nourished3 Inc. and Nourished3 GmbH under the Holding. Nourished3's revenue for these seven months stands at $50,402 (net of returns). It's worth noting that our business is highly seasonal, with 75% of sales typically occurring in Q3 and Q4. Due to our current fundraising through Wellness Holding, we're unable to display financials from the last 12 months as we can only represent figures under the Holding, not historical data from Nourished3 Inc. and Nourished3 GmbH. However, over the past two years, Nourished3 Inc. and Nourished3 GmbH have averaged an annual revenue of $225,000 (net of discounts and returns). Financials for Nourished3 from 2022 and 2023 are included, though we are unable to represent data from 2021 and 2020 due to Reg CF guidelines. In regards to the interest per annum, this is related to the amount of $1,130 which was a loan given to the holding. Despite these temporary costs, it’s worth highlighting that reaching breakeven at this early stage of our company’s growth is a significant milestone, especially without external funding or large marketing efforts. This is not common for companies at a similar stage. I hope this clarifies your concerns, and please don't hesitate to reach out with any further questions!","author_name":"Mahmud Al-Smadi","votes":1,"created_at":"2024-10-01T11:25:40Z"}]},{"id":291863,"entity_id":"wefunder:comment:291863","question":"Hello, I did not understand what are the exit options for the investors - is it connected with a timeline and if yes, how long (10 years?) or the investment is locked in until the company is made pubic, which if I understood correctly from the comment above is planned after 18 months when the company worth is 7M.

The amount received depends on the valuation at the time of the acquisition. (SCENARIO 2: Initial Public Offering IPO) If the company goes public, SPV investors can either receive shares of the public company or cash out their investment. (SCENARIO 3: Dividends)If the company becomes profitable and decides to issue dividends, SPV investors might receive periodic payments. Your investment is blocked until we reach one of the three scenarios. The good thing is we are already break-even, and the investment will get us cash flow positive. However, our goal is to be acquired within the next 10 years. In 18 months we plan to raise our next funding round Series A.

If the investment is approved, you can still join at the $8M valuation. However, if it’s disapproved, you would automatically receive an offer at a $7M valuation for your investment. Due to Wefunder's technical process, it ensures that available spots are reserved on a first-come, first-served basis. That being said, I highly recommend you proceed with the current valuation, as both outcomes work in your favor. Whether the potential investment is approved or denied, it will still be a great opportunity for you. Please let me know if everything is clear.","author_name":"Mahmud Al-Smadi","votes":0,"created_at":"2024-10-04T14:44:09Z"}]},{"id":293470,"entity_id":"wefunder:comment:293470","question":"I'd like to be able to try your product, if I invest.

I’m happy to answer your questions. When you invest $250, you’re not directly purchasing shares at that moment. Instead, you're securing the right to buy shares in our next priced round, Series A, which is planned in 18 months post-closing at a predetermined valuation of $7M. You'll receive your shares during the Series A round. The advantage of this is that if the company's value increases above this valuation, you'll still get the shares at the agreed-upon $7M valuation. You are betting our company will be worth $7M in the next priced round. This is done through a SAFE (Simple Agreement for Future Equity). This is what makes this opportunity so unique—most brands don’t offer any investment opportunities to their community at all, but we are in this round. At this point, we’re unsure if we’ll open up additional crowdfunding rounds, so this might be your only chance to participate. Future funding rounds may be offered to traditional investors under different terms. In addition to this right, we offer perks like gift cards, discounts, and exclusive experiences, but these are separate bonuses. The main benefit is the opportunity to invest at an early-stage price, which can be especially valuable if the company’s valuation rises in the future.","author_name":"Mahmud Al-Smadi","votes":0,"created_at":"2024-09-07T12:40:22Z"}]}],"faq":[{"question":"Hi!
