Starco Brands Inc (OTCQB: STCB) is a consumer products company that acquires, owns, and markets a portfolio of branded consumer goods across personal care, food, fragrance, and beverage categories. Revenue comes from direct product sales under proprietary brands and from royalty licensing fees where third-party manufacturers produce and sell products under STCB-licensed trademarks. The company operates through wholly-owned subsidiaries including Art of Sport (premium body and skincare), Skylar (hypoallergenic fragrances), Soylent (nutrition beverages), Winona Pure (cooking sprays and sauce sprays), and Whipshots (vodka-infused whipped cream, 85% owned), with Whipshots earning royalties from a licensing agreement with Temperance, a related entity. Manufacturing is sourced externally, with The Starco Group (TSG), whose owner Ross Sklar has served as STCB CEO since August 2017, acting as a key manufacturing partner. The company reported a net loss of $20,673,058 for the year ended December 31, 2025, and its independent auditor issued a going-concern opinion dated April 14, 2026.
