Functional Brands Launches Kirkman® Skin, Beauty & Anti-Aging Bundle Focused on Science-Backed Skin Health
Functional Brands Inc. (NASDAQ: MEHA) has introduced a new Skin, Beauty & Anti-Aging Bundle under its Kirkman® brand, expanding its portfolio of wellness products with a comprehensive, science-driven approach to skin health. The new bundle combines four clinically supported ingredients designed to promote detoxification, cellular renewal, and protection against environmental stressors.
The formulation includes reduced glutathione, zinc cream, biotin, and grapefruit seed extract—each selected for its role in supporting skin resilience, clarity, and overall appearance. Together, the products are intended to address both internal and external factors that contribute to premature aging and compromised skin function.
According to Functional Brands, the bundle reflects growing consumer demand for holistic wellness solutions that integrate nutritional support with topical care. Eric Gripentrog, Chief Executive Officer of the company, said the product aligns with the company’s focus on clean ingredients and evidence-based nutrition designed to support long-term health and appearance.
Reduced glutathione serves as the foundation of the bundle’s internal support strategy. Widely regarded as a master antioxidant, glutathione helps neutralize free radicals and reduce oxidative stress, a key contributor to skin aging. By supporting the body’s natural detoxification pathways, particularly in the liver, glutathione may also help improve skin clarity and texture while offering protection against environmental damage.
Topical support is provided through zinc cream, which is commonly used to soothe irritated skin, reduce inflammation, and promote wound healing. Zinc plays an important role in collagen synthesis and skin barrier integrity, with research showing its effectiveness in managing acne, redness, and sensitivity while accelerating tissue repair.
Biotin, also known as vitamin B7, supports cellular energy metabolism and keratin production, which are essential for maintaining healthy skin, hair, and nails. Supplementation has been associated with improved nail strength, hair thickness, and skin hydration, particularly in individuals with biotin deficiencies.
The bundle is rounded out with grapefruit seed extract, a natural source of antioxidants and bioflavonoids that help protect the skin from oxidative damage and microbial imbalance. Grapefruit seed extract has demonstrated antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, supporting a healthy skin microbiome and helping reduce irritation linked to environmental stressors.
By combining internal nutritional support with targeted topical care, the Kirkman® Skin, Beauty & Anti-Aging Bundle is designed to address skin health from multiple angles. Functional Brands stated that the product is now available through Kirkman’s website and practitioner networks, as the company continues to expand its presence in the growing science-based wellness market.
