Jao Brand is the creation of Gale Mayron, a daughter who got lucky enough to have an amazing chemist for a father. Mayron uses only the very best ingredients in her totally original, niche brand products.

"I found the name Jao in an old pharmacy book my father had. Jao is a mystical word inscribed on a 2,000 year old charm believed to prevent and cure disease. I also liked that the word seemed like it could be from any culture.

When I was a kid, my father was a research and developmental chemist for a big firm in Philadelphia. He would go to tradeshows and bring me back bags of potions to smell and play with.

We launched the business in 1997. It was really fun to be in on the beginning of an entirely new product category.

I had the idea for Goē Oil for a long time and it took my father quite a few years to figure it out. We finally launched Goē Oil, which stands for (Garden of Eden) in 2008. I don't like to just add products to fatten the bottom line. I think of each product as a work of art, like a song or painting, and they take time to create.

Jao Brand has expanded to 14 original products with more on the way. The products are now available in over 600 stores and more than 15 countries around the world.

We outgrew our origins in Mayron Labs and moved into the Jao Haus in 2013.

I always wanted to have a flagship Jao Store but I couldn’t see myself selling everyone else’s beautiful skin care, because I would constantly be saying this is good but Jao Brand is better! In 2019 I found a gorgeous storefront space in Downtown Brooklyn to highlight Jao Brand products as well as be a social space to meet the neighborhood and offer a unique selection of useful products that are hard to find.

I also started a line of linen workwear that was quickly taking over the shop. So in 2021 we expanded to the next space and gathered vintage workwear from France, and new workwear clothes made in NY and LA.
