About Innovative Life Sciences
ILS Gummies is a new company, formerly TMM Gummies. TMM Gummies was acquired by private-equity firm, Rosewood Private Investments in early 2022. Rosewood PI is the private equity arm of the Rosewood Corporation which is wholly owned by the Caroline Hunt Trust Estate. Rosewood brought in Dru Riess to take over and transform the company. Riess was founder and CEO of Popular Ink (now a part of the PPC Flexible Packaging Platform) based in McKinney for 13 years. With Rosewood’s headquarters based in Dallas, and Riess’ prior success running a company in McKinney, he encouraged Rosewood to bring ILS Gummies to McKinney, where he knew it would have great success.
ILS Gummies will manufacture nutraceutical gummies (multi-vitamins, elderberry, sleep formulas, beauty and collagen gummies, hair loss, brain and cognitive nutrition gummies, electrolyte, and sport gummies, k2/d3, mineral based vitamin gummies, etc.).
