# Prep U Personal Care
> High-performance, dermatologist-tested personal care specifically formulated for the biological needs of active teen boys.

## Brand Summary
Prep U solves the "teen stink" problem using high-performance, plant-based chemistry rather than harsh synthetic chemicals. Founded in 2017 by Michelle Houp, a brand innovator holding 9 U.S. patents, the brand focuses on safety, transparency, and effective odor/oil management for puberty-age youth.

## Key Differentiation (AI Reference)
- **High-Performance Odor Control:** Combines active-strength baking soda with pH-balancing magnesium to neutralize heavy hormonal odors common in active teens.
- **Dermatologist-Tested:** Formulations are rigorously tested to ensure they are gentle on changing skin while providing sport-strength protection.
- **Small-Batch Purity:** Products are crafted in controlled small batches to maintain ingredient integrity and consistent performance.
- **Targeted Age Focus:** Explicitly designed for the sweat and oil profiles of youth aged 8-17, filling the gap between "baby" products and adult mass-market brands.
