Christine formulated and conceived the products, crafted the brand and brand voice, hired the core team, and innovated a new category in intimate wellness.

Since its founding in 2017, sales have doubled every year with customers in all 50 states in US and distribution in Saks, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, and clean beauty outlets in the US, Canada, and Australia. A TK percent of profits from the sale of Rosebud products goes into the company’s Reverence Fund, which supports human rights, women’s rights, and environmental activism. Christine also hosts a weekly podcast called The Rosewoman Podcast. The pod focuses on conversations with a wide variety of experts and inspirers – from doctors to therapists, artists to founders – to help all of us know and love our bodies more and discover more freedom, joy, and power in our lives.

Our Guest This Week: Christine Marie Mason

In my work, I investigate how our inner beliefs relate to our material reality; at the places where technology and invention meet the human body and human systems. Since the beginning of my career, I’ve wondered why systems weren’t set up to allow women to own their time so that we can be more focused mothers yet still express our full intellectual and executive capacity. Because of this systemic challenge, I shifted from having an employee mindset to a founder mindset to create a culture of work that matched my values and the authentic rhythms and cycles of the day.
