Formulated by Doctors. Fueled by Women.

Yes, Dr.'s Remedy was founded by two forward-thinking podiatrists—but today, it’s powered by a dynamic, all-woman team who keeps the mission alive and evolving. From creative direction to daily operations, it’s women who are the cogs of the machine, steering this doctor-formulated brand with intention, innovation, and heart.

We’re proud to be one of the first doctor-developed nail care collections that goes beyond just pretty polish. Our luxe lacquers are 24-Toxin Free, cruelty-free, and mindfully made to address real concerns—from brittle, damaged nails to post-procedure recovery. But what truly sets us apart? The women leading the charge behind every bottle.

Our story began in 2005, when podiatrist Dr. Adam Cirlincione couldn’t find a nail polish safe enough to recommend to his patients—or his pregnant wife. So, like many great ideas born from necessity, he created one. With the help of colleague and fellow podiatrist Dr. William Spielfogel, the vision came to life: polish that podiatrists could stand behind, and women could feel good about wearing.

But this brand’s turning point came when Rachel, Adam’s wife and a seasoned television producer with an eye for storytelling and strategy, stepped in to take the reins. What began as a side project quickly became a full-time mission—and she built a team of women ready to transform the way we think about nail care.

Today, Dr.'s Remedy is shaped, driven, and managed by women—moms, marketers, creatives, and wellness lovers—who believe in beauty that’s as functional as it is fabulous. We’ve created a line that’s not just about looking good, but about feeling good, too. Our treatments, from biotin-infused base coats to nourishing cuticle oils, work hard behind the scenes—just like we do.

With a “less is more” mindset, we’re focused on creating purposeful products that solve real problems, without any of the harsh stuff. No parabens. No formaldehyde. No unnecessary extras. Just clean, effective formulas designed to support nail health, from the inside out.

What started in a small Brooklyn office is now a global movement—one rooted in care, wellness, and women supporting women. Because at Dr.'s Remedy, the future of beauty is female-led, wellness-first, and fearlessly clean.
