Hilma

What Hilma does

Hilma is a New York-based, privately held natural remedies company founded in 2019 that formulates clinically-studied herbal supplements for common digestive, sleep, tension, and immune health concerns. Its product portfolio spans core digestive SKUs (Gas + Bloat Relief, Daily Fiber + Digestive Enzymes, Dairy + Gluten Digestive Enzymes, Daily Pre + Probiotic + Herbs, Fiber Gummy, Heartburn + Indigestion Relief, Stomach Recover + Hydrate, Occasional Constipation Relief), sleep and tension products (Sleep Support, Tension Relief), immune and respiratory products (Elderberry Immune Gummy, Pollen Defense), and a 2026-launched Hilma Kids sub-brand. Products are developed using a "Clinical Herbalism" approach — only ingredients backed by double-blind, placebo-controlled studies, co-formulated with a Scientific Advisory Board of board-certified gastroenterologists, allergists, internists, pediatric gastroenterologists, and a clinical herbalist — and undergo four rounds of third-party testing under cGMP/NSF-audited manufacturing.

The company operates a product-led growth model combining direct-to-consumer e-commerce at hilma.co (with a subscription offering 10% off recurring orders and bundles offering 15% off three or more products) with broad retail distribution across Amazon, Walmart, Target, CVS, Walgreens, and Thrive Market. Unit pricing ranges from $17 to $38, with bundle pricing from $38 to $75, positioning Hilma in the premium clean-label supplement tier. Customers are health-conscious adults seeking natural alternatives to over-the-counter drugs for occasional symptoms, plus parents of children ages 4+ via the Kids line. The brand claims a 500,000+ cumulative customer base, Clean Label Project certification across all SKUs, and was featured in Vogue (March 2026) alongside Ritual, Pure Encapsulations, Nordic Naturals, and Seed.

The company is co-led by co-CEOs and co-founders Hilary Quartner and Nina Mullen, with co-founder Lily Galef as Chief Brand Officer. Capital structure is lean: a $2.98M seed round in June 2019 led by BoxGroup, Company Ventures, Electric Feel Ventures, Forerunner, Global Founders Capital, and Prehype, followed by three subsequent rounds (2020-2021) at undisclosed amounts. The company ships to all 50 US states and US territories but does not currently ship internationally.
