Zilis LLC is a mid-sized wellness company based in Argyle, Texas, focusing on hemp-derived CBD products and endocannabinoid system support. It markets under the ULTRA brand and operates with a social marketing model driven by a nationwide network of independent ambassadors and retail customers, relying on word-of-mouth rather than traditional advertising. Founded in 2015 by Steven and Angie Thompson, the company emphasizes a multiplying nutrition concept and a Pay It Forward program designed to create opportunities. The corporate narrative notes its growth trajectory within the hemp sector and a stance free from influence by large pharmaceutical or Wall Street interests. Zilis targets wellness consumers seeking endocannabinoid system support, skincare, and nutrition products, with product introductions like UltraGlow powder sticks launched in 2021 and a cannabinoid-infused skincare line the same year. The company has expanded its portfolio through strategic moves such as acquiring Zrii in early 2021 and pursuing regional development under its LATAM initiatives. In October 2024, Angie Thompson was appointed owner and chief executive officer, signaling a leadership transition. Observers view the company as among the faster-growing players in the hemp-derived CBD space, a pace attributed in part to its ambassador-driven model.
