OUR BEGINNING
Pain relief is personal.
We know how bad clothing and fabric can get. Trust us, it almost ruined high school and college.
So we re-created it.
After suffering from bad acne, a trip to the Dermatologist started the Nufabrx Journey for our Founder Jordan Schindler. Knowing the Dermatologist recommendation to wash his pillowcase 2-3 times per week was never going to happen, he set out to create a better solution. Turning a negative problem (dirt and oil building up on your sheets and fabrics), into one that could actually deliver a solution. Teaming up with expert pharmaceutical and PhD drug delivery Scientists, 7 years later Nufabrx Technology was born.
We have since expanded our team to include industry veterans on both the textile and pharmaceutical side of the equation. We are a team of PhD chemists (MIT University, University of Minnesota to name a few) and seasoned textile engineers with 40+ years’ experience working in the US industry. We are based in North Carolina, the nexus for US textiles.
Together we have committed to simplifying consumer health and wellness outcomes. No longer having to remember to take your pills, creams, apply patches or gels; JUST GET DRESSED!
Founder and CEO of Nufabrx
JORDAN SCHINDLER
I founded Nufabrx in 2011 after a trip to the dermatologist where I learned that pillowcases are one of the leading causes of acne and blemishes, and that we are supposed to wash our pillowcases every two to three days. As a teen male in college, I realized there was no way this was ever going to happen! So, off I went to find a better way.
After years of research and development, fine tuning and teaming up with a brilliant PhD formulation scientist from Minneapolis, we have developed a revolutionary patent pending platform technology that enables us to embed essential oils and medications into fabric.
Our first product was the Nufabrx Pillowcase, a bamboo pillowcase embedded with tea tree oil and lavender that release while you sleep. This is just the first of many really exciting products designed to make a person’s life just a little bit better, a little bit easier.
