Overview

Pangaea Holdings specializes in men's grooming and personal care products, aiming to help digital consumer brands achieve their global potential. The company offers two main brands: Lumin, which provides a variety of skin, body, and hair care products, and Meridian, which focuses on below-the-belt grooming, addressing a niche market often overlooked due to societal taboos. Pangaea operates primarily through e-commerce, selling directly to consumers via their website, which allows them to control brand presentation, pricing, and customer experience. Their target audience consists of men who appreciate premium personal care products and prefer online shopping. Pangaea's goal is to educate men on the importance of comprehensive personal hygiene while providing high-quality grooming solutions.
