The Perfect Blend: From the Kitchen to the Lab

Senior Director of Innovation at eosera® looks back at impressive career

Shilpi Jain’s knowledge of research and chemistry didn’t start at university or secondary school. It started as a very young child, sleeves rolled up, next to her mother in the kitchen. 

After moving from Delhi, India, to Toronto with her parents as a four-year-old, Jain spent hours in the kitchen with her mother, a chemist with a master’s degree and a penchant for homeopathic curiosity. She wasn’t just teaching her daughter which flavors blend perfectly together for the best-tasting curry. She was teaching her about the healing powers of ancient herbs — turmeric for inflammation, ginger teas for digestive support. She taught her the transformative power of being curious, of what happens when you blend “this” with a little of “that.”  

It came as no surprise that Jain herself pursued a career in chemistry with a special focus on blending Ayurvedic principles with western medicine. Ayurveda is an ancient Indian practice that focuses on the connection between body, mind, and spirit. 

Two decades later, Jain now serves as the Senior Director of Research and Development at eosera®, an innovative ear care company that has quickly grown from a small business established in 2015 to a nationwide powerhouse with products sold in more than 28,000 stores. 

At eosera®, Jain hopes to continue a tradition of innovation that truly helps people. 

“People take their ears for granted,” she said. “We’re always investing in our eyes — getting contacts and glasses — but people are still shy about their ear health, and I think it’s high time that they paid attention.” 

At her core, Jain wants to help people. 

“I want to come up with solutions, and there are so many unmet needs in the ear care industry,” she said. “The cerumen that we create, that wax itself, has chemicals that are so unique and can determine so many things. It’s fascinating.” 

By educating people about the importance of ear health, Jain hopes more people will understand how delicate our ears are, and why it’s important to use ear care products that are safe and effective. 

“Seeing eosera® develop products for ear wax, ear pain, and ear itch — those are some of my favorite products,” she said. “I’m really looking forward to helping create new and improved products.” 

CEO and co-founder of eosera®, Elyse Stoltz Dickerson, said she’s excited to see how Jain helps propel the company into its next chapter of growth. 

“We are ecstatic to have Shilpi Jain join our team as Senior Director of Innovation,” said CEO and Co-Founder Elyse Stoltz Dickerson. “Shilpi has an incredibly impressive background in research and development, helping numerous brands develop viable solutions that not only solve problems but create meaningful change for people and animals.” 

This strategic hire marks a significant step in eosera®’s mission to develop innovative, over-the-counter ear care products that are accessible to the general public.
