Cymbiotika, a wellness brand specializing in nutritional supplements utilizing advanced liposomal delivery technology, has announced a partnership with Ulta Beauty that will bring its products to the retailer's online platform starting March 15 and to more than 1,000 physical store locations nationwide on March 29. This marks the brand's entry into mainstream beauty retail.
The collaboration places Cymbiotika within Ulta's Wellness assortment and initially features four products, including NAD+, which supports healthy aging and longevity, and will be exclusive to Ulta at launch. Other products that will be available through the beauty retailer include Liposomal Glutathione for detoxification and cellular radiance, Liposomal Vitamin C for elasticity and immune support, and a Magnesium Complex designed to promote restorative sleep and calm skin.
The liposomal delivery system used by the brand encapsulates nutrients in a lipid layer that mimics the body's natural cell membranes, allowing ingredients to bypass harsh digestive conditions and reach cells more efficiently.
