ABOUT US

We are a group of individuals who strive to live out the four values in our behaviors, decisions and actions. We are equally passionate about growing a community for each of our brands as we are for building our internal community of Pangaeans. As Pangaeans, we can’t think of a better place to make a difference in our customers’ journeys of self-care and in our colleagues’ paths to success. We go out of our way to lift each other up, recognize the diverse talents that each person brings to our community and perpetuate a sense of belonging for all.

  • Innovation: We research, think critically and explore new possibilities and approaches to problems. We are intentionally curious and strive to obtain innovative recipes for success. By seeking new and creative ways to do things, we believe that we will be able to achieve our mission at unprecedented speed and scale.
  • Push the Limits: Pangaea embraces a “yes we can” culture. We work towards our mission no matter how hard it gets or how long it takes. We are equally tenacious as we are relentless and we do what it takes to win as a team.
  • Prioritization: Conscious prioritization is essential to our success. We tend to prioritize decision-making that may lead to sustainable business outcomes. We make calculated bets and focus on fewer, greater initiatives that will result in the greatest value for Pangaea, our customers and our teammates.
