Durana Elmi Expands Cymbiotika to Target and Champions Accessible, Sustainable Wellness

Durana Elmi has built her career on the belief that wellness should not only be effective and accessible but also responsible. As the founder of Cymbiotika, one of the most innovative wellness brands in the country, Elmi has consistently pushed the boundaries of science and integrity while keeping a close eye on the impact her company makes on people and the planet.

This fall, Cymbiotika celebrates its biggest milestone yet: a nationwide launch at Target stores and Target.com.

“When we started Cymbiotika, our mission was to reimagine how people access wellness. This launch with Target proves that innovation and accessibility can walk hand in hand,” says Elmi.

Cymbiotika’s rise has been defined by a simple but powerful formula: create products that people can trust. With over 100 million supplement packets sold, the brand has gained a loyal following among consumers who want supplements that are both scientifically validated and easy to incorporate into their lives.

“Cymbiotika has always been about creating products that people can trust, backed by science, fueled by integrity, and designed for everyday life. Seeing them on Target shelves is a moment of validation for that mission,” Elmi explains.

The Target launch includes four core products—Liposomal Glutathione, Liposomal Vitamin C, Irish Sea Moss, and Liposomal Magnesium Complex—packaged in convenient 12-count boxes designed for everyday use. Beyond function, Cymbiotika has placed emphasis on creating packaging that reduces excess waste and supports sustainable sourcing where possible.

Elmi also views this expansion as a moment of empowerment for women in business. “As a female founder, I know firsthand the challenges of breaking into industries that have been dominated by legacy players. Our partnership with Target shows what is possible when vision, resilience, and purpose align,” she says.

Her words echo a larger movement in wellness: one that values inclusivity, transparency, and long-term responsibility as much as performance.

For Elmi, business growth and sustainability are not separate ideas. Cymbiotika’s formulations are rooted in clean, high-quality ingredients, many of which are sourced from ethical suppliers. The brand continues to explore packaging innovations and eco-friendly practices, reflecting its commitment to reducing environmental impact.

“This partnership represents more than growth for Cymbiotika. It is a step forward for women entrepreneurs who want to see their innovations reach mainstream audiences. It proves that when you intersect passion and purpose, amazing things happen,” Elmi reflects.

By bringing Cymbiotika to Target, Durana Elmi is not only democratizing access to supplements but also expanding a conversation about wellness that includes sustainability, representation, and social impact.

With additional product rollouts planned for 2026, Elmi’s leadership signals a broader cultural shift. Cymbiotika is redefining what wellness brands can stand for: trust, empowerment, and responsibility to both people and the planet.

For Green Matter readers, the message is clear: the future of wellness is not just about feeling better, it is about doing better.
