W, the men’s personal care brand from boxer and content creator Jake Paul, has raised a Series A led by Shrug Capital.

Valued north of $150 million, W has raised $14 million in funding to-date, inclusive of seed financing and incubation from Anti Fund. Prominent co-investors include Range Group, 305 Ventures, Uphonest Capital, Quiet Capital and Palm Tree Crew, with participation from Celsius’ CEO John Fieldly; Fanatic’s CEO Michael Rubin; Lil Durk; Nick Kyrgios; Naomi Osaka; and Carter Reum and Paris Hilton.

“It’s incredibly important to me that W fill the void that’s been apparent in the men’s personal care category for decades,” said Jake Paul, Founder of W. “Everything W does is different — from driving record sales in under a month to our forward-thinking approach to creator partnerships. Our funding to date reflects our investors’ confidence in the immense opportunity we have to build a new type of legacy brand in unique and unexpected ways. I invested my own capital into this company along with my partner and Co-Founder Geoffrey Woo because we strongly believe in W’s runway to achieve a massive and successful future.”

Under a blazing setting sun at Island Oyster in downtown Manhattan’s Governors Island on July 10, Hempz – the skincare brand touting products made of 100% h**p seed oil – unveiled a new SPF and Beauty Actives Collection aimed at keeping skin calm, cool, healthy and smelling sublime.

Aligned with summertime, the brand introduced the launch of its dermatologist-tested, non-comedogenic Broad Spectrum Ultimate Hydration SPF in 30 and 50 for face and body. Enriched with Vitamin C, its scent is the brand’s signature – Sweet Pineapple & Honey Melon – which customers petitioned to make into a sunscreen, per Chief Marketing Officer Jen Weiderman.

The location for the product launch was apropos – not only for its staycation vibes with a lively patio bar overlooking a stretch of Wall Street’s stately steel structures and passing boats sailing the choppy, glittery waves of the Hudson River – but the island’s impressive history.

Line includes a bevy of anti-aging serums and SPF moisturizers for face and body.
