Sujata Patel Eyrick, Inspiring Women to Watch in 2026″ From Coastal Inspiration to Collagen Science with Beauty and Bones
Sujata Patel Eyrick is the founder of Beauty and Bones, a wellness brand inspired by the belief that strength and beauty both begin with the body’s inner structure. Her journey into the world of bone health and collagen science began unexpectedly after discovering early bone loss despite maintaining an active and health-conscious lifestyle. The experience sparked a personal investigation into the body’s structural system and the critical role collagen plays in supporting bones, connective tissue, and skin.
What began as a deeply personal health journey gradually evolved into a broader mission. Sujata became determined to create a product that could help women better understand and support their bone health long before problems arise. That vision led to the creation of Beauty and Bones, a premium collagen supplement designed to support bone strength and overall structural vitality using specialized German collagen peptides developed through advanced nutritional science.
Sujata’s perspective on wellness has also been shaped by a lifelong connection to coastal living and the restorative influence of nature. She previously lived in Hawaii, where daily life was closely tied to the rhythms of the ocean and an outdoor lifestyle centered around movement, sunlight, and balance. Over the years she has remained closely connected to coastal environments through family and loved ones in places such as California, St. Barts, the Hamptons, and the Outer Banks of North Carolina. These are not simply destinations she visits, but places where she feels rooted through personal relationships and time spent within those communities.
Those experiences helped shape the aesthetic and philosophy behind Beauty and Bones. The brand reflects a blend of scientific credibility and a calming, coastal-inspired sense of wellbeing, built around the idea that when we care for the body’s foundation, we create the conditions to thrive at every stage of life.
Before launching Beauty and Bones, Sujata founded Beach Sandy, a lifestyle brand known for innovative coastal products designed to enhance time spent outdoors. Beach Sandy serves as the parent company behind Beauty and Bones, which represents the brand’s expansion into wellness and science-backed beauty from within.
Today, through Beauty and Bones, she hopes to expand awareness around bone health, particularly for women in midlife who may not realize how early bone changes can begin. Her goal is not only to offer a science-backed product, but also to build platforms that encourage education, community, and proactive wellness.
Beauty and Bones recently appeared at the DPA Pre-Oscars Gift Suite at the Luxe Sunset Hotel near Beverly Hills, where the brand was introduced to celebrities and media as part of a curated selection of emerging wellness innovations.
Tell us about your inspiration for Beach Sandy and how it led you to launch Beauty and Bones.
My background is in design and entrepreneurship. Earlier in my career, I was a high-end accessories designer whose work was embraced by top fashion magazines and celebrity clients. That experience taught me the value of thoughtful design, creating products that are both functional and aesthetically refined.
The inspiration for Beach Sandy® came from a very practical moment during beach trips with my son. When he was about seven years old, I found myself constantly trying to clean sand off our beach gear before getting back into the car. Sand has a way of getting everywhere, and I began thinking about a simple tool that could brush it away quickly and easily. That everyday moment led me to design the Beach Sandy brush, which became the foundation of the brand.
Years later, after encountering my own bone health challenges, I became increasingly interested in the science of bone density and nutritional support. I began researching collagen peptides and the clinical studies behind them. That research ultimately led me to develop Beauty and Bones®, a formulation that combines FORTIBONE® and VERISOL® peptides designed to support bone strength and skin health.
While Beach Sandy® began with a simple solution inspired by life at the beach, Beauty and Bones® grew out of a deeper commitment to long-term wellness and helping women support their strength and vitality as they age.
Take us through your science-backed collagen peptides for women.
Beauty and Bones® was created around a very specific concept, using collagen peptides that have been clinically studied for targeted benefits. The formulation combines FORTIBONE® and VERISOL® collagen peptides, two specialized bioactive peptides developed through extensive research.
FORTIBONE® has been studied for its role in supporting bone metabolism and bone density, which is particularly important for women as they age and naturally experience changes in bone health. VERISOL® has been researched for its effects on skin elasticity and overall skin appearance. I was interested in the idea of supporting structural wellness from multiple angles, since collagen plays such a central role in both bone and skin health.
Another design decision came from observing how people actually use supplements. Many collagen products come in large tubs, which can be inconvenient to travel with. I wanted to make the product easier to take consistently, so Beauty and Bones® is packaged in individual tear-off packs. The idea was simple: when something is convenient to carry, whether traveling or going about a busy day, people are more likely to take it regularly rather than leaving doses behind.
In that sense, the product combines scientific formulation with practical design, supporting both the research behind the ingredients and the realities of how people incorporate wellness products into everyday life.
What is your goal for Beauty and Bones?
My goal for Beauty and Bones® is to build thoughtful products that help women support their bodies as they age. Bone health is often something women only begin to think about after a diagnosis or a warning from a doctor, but there is a great deal that can be done earlier through awareness, nutrition, and lifestyle.
Beyond the product itself, I hope to create a platform that educates women from a patient’s perspective. Much of the conversation around bone loss can feel fear-based, and I believe it is more powerful to approach the subject through knowledge, encouragement, and practical steps women can take to support their long-term strength and mobility.
Another important goal is outreach. There are many underprivileged communities where women face bone health challenges but may not have access to information or resources that could help them take preventative steps. I would like Beauty and Bones® to contribute to raising awareness in those communities and help provide women with the knowledge they need to care for their health as they age.
Beauty and Bones recently appeared at the DPA Pre-Oscars Gift Suite at the Luxe Sunset Hotel near Beverly Hills. Why was this important to your marketing strategy?
Participating in the DPA Pre-Oscars Gift Suite at the Luxe Sunset Hotel near Beverly Hills was an opportunity to introduce Beauty and Bones® to a broader audience in a setting where media, creators, and industry professionals naturally gather.
Events like this help generate brand awareness and open conversations around topics that are not always discussed publicly, such as women’s bone health and preventative wellness. Being part of a credible gift lounge associated with a major cultural event allows a young brand to be discovered organically by people who may then share it within their own networks.
For Beauty and Bones®, the value was not only exposure but also the chance to place the product into conversations about health, longevity, and proactive self-care. It helped bring attention to an important topic while introducing the brand in an environment that celebrates innovation, creativity, and influential voices.
What is next?
I do have ideas for additional products, but my primary focus right now is establishing the foundation of the brand. Launching a new wellness product requires thoughtful communication and education, so much of my attention is currently on introducing Beauty and Bones and helping people understand the concept behind it.
A key priority for 2026 is building out the brand’s social media platforms and using them as a place to share information about bone health, wellness, and preventative care. I want the messaging to reach women in a way that feels accessible and encouraging.
As the brand grows and the community around it develops, there will certainly be opportunities to expand the product line. For now, the goal is to focus on launching Beauty and Bones® in a meaningful way and creating a strong platform for the conversation around women’s bone health.
