OLIKA Hydrating Hand Sanitizer is a premium leader in the clean wellness space. Grit Studio was excited for the opportunity to partner with OLIKA in re-launching their 2.0 product with a refreshed brand experience on a new custom Shopify website with custom content. Although OLIKA was in-market long before COVID-19, the pandemic posed a unique challenge for re-launching a brand and shaped how we tell their stories.
