Opal & Joy Launches Breakthrough Perimenopause Support Products

Groundbreaking women's health company launches innovative line of perimenopause support supplements in time for National Women’s History Month and National Sleep Awareness Month

BOULDER, Colo. (Feb. 25, 2025) — Founded by women for women, Opal & Joy aims to revolutionize the traditional approach to perimenopause, offering innovative plant-powered solutions that address the often-overlooked and underserved needs of women during perimenopause and menopause.

Founders Tiffany Tompkins and Melissa Zissou discovered a need for highly effective, symptom focused perimenopause supplements after no existing products brought relief for Tiffany’s own “perimenopause journey through hell.” Their clinically formulated line of highly efficacious, all-natural, non-GMO and certified organic supplements supports the hormonal health and emotional well-being of women experiencing perimenopause. 

Using state-of-the-art scientific research in blending cannabinoids, adaptogens, Ayurvedic herbs, medicinal mushrooms and terpenes, Opal & Joy’s products are formulated to work synergistically to provide lasting relief, delivering meaningful, real-world results in managing the discomforts associated with the hormonal rollercoaster.

Opal & Joy’s debut hero product, the Restorative Sleep System, boasts a “dual-product delivery method” designed to target the source of perimenopause sleep disruptions, supporting the body’s endocannabinoid and endocrine systems to provide targeted relief for specific symptom management. 

  • Rest focuses on supporting the endocannabinoid system and contains organic hemp derived CBD, CBN and the terpene linalool. 

  • Relax focuses on supporting the endocrine system and contains Relora® (a proprietary blend of botanical extracts from Magnolia officinalis and Phellodendron amurense to help modulate the body’s response to stress hormones), reishi mushrooms, passionflower and ashwagandha.

The Opal & Joy team is also launching with a Relief Elixir, an organic CBD oil with a refreshing peppermint flavor to offer quick relief from hot flashes and anxiety. The company is also poised to announce additional product launches throughout the year that harness the power of other cannabinoids and adaptogens to support common perimenopause symptoms.

With a focus on sustainability, all Opal & Joy products come in recyclable and reusable cardboard tubes and boxes, minimizing unnecessary plastic packaging and waste. 

About Perimenopause
Each year, approximately 2 million women in the U.S. enter perimenopause. Perimenopause is the natural transitional hormonal chapter leading to menopause and typically affects women aged between 35-50. Globally, there has been little formal teaching about perimenopause so women have little knowledge or awareness of what can be a very symptomatic life phase. Consequently, perimenopausal women often suffer in silence in the absence of education and knowledge. Statistics, according to the CDC, include: 

  • 87% of women over 40 experience mood changes like anxiety, depression, and anger

  • 80% of women experience poor sleep

  • 78% of women experience digestive issues

  • 68.3% of women experience brain fog

  • 66.8% of women experience fatigue

“Perimenopausal women have had to be silent about their symptoms for too long. We created Opal & Joy to bring menopause out of the shadows and into the spotlight where it belongs, and to provide emotional and physical support so women can thrive during this transition,” says Melissa, a veteran of the hemp-derived CBD and cannabinoid industry. “We developed our products using a blend of ingredients that work in harmony to support your body’s natural balance — no single ingredient can do it all. We also source as many organic ingredients as possible, prioritizing purity, safety and nourishment,” she says.

About Opal & Joy
Based in Boulder, Colorado, Opal & Joy is a pioneering wellness company dedicated to empowering women through the challenges of perimenopause and menopause. Founded in 2021 by Melissa Zissou and Tiffany Tompkins, the brand was inspired by their personal experiences and a shared mission to create science-backed solutions using the most efficacious products that tackle specific perimenopause symptoms. The company is named in honor of their grandmothers — Opal, a Texan rancher, and Joy, a New Zealand artist — symbolizing strength and creativity. With a focus on premium, ethical ingredients and formulations developed by a female doctor specializing in women’s health, Opal & Joy offers innovative products designed to alleviate symptoms like sleep disturbances, night sweats and hormonal imbalances. Proudly made by women for women, the brand seeks to redefine this transformational life stage with compassion and empowerment.
