7 Female-Founded Skincare Companies We Love
With #BlogHer20 Health right around the corner, we’ve got forming healthier habits on the brain. Everyone talks about practicing self-care, but what about prioritizing it? To get you started, we’ve compiled a list of seven products from seven female-founded skincare companies that we love. These products will switch-up your self-care game… and best of all, they were designed by companies founded by women as driven and as hard-working as you!
Everyone knows how much we love Kate Sommerville, who spoke at #BlogHer19 Biz! The story of Kate’s rise to skincare fame is so inspiring – and her line of products are incredible, 100% cruelty-free, and produce real results.
This trio of the skincare queen’s best radiance-boosting and hydrating products is worth every penny. Get ready to ExfoliKATE away your dead wintry skin!
Co-founded by Christine Chang and #BlogHer Speaker Sarah Lee, Glow Recipe is a skincare line that prides itself on using the sweetest of the major food groups (FRUIT) as the base of nearly every one of its products. Those included in the Damn Bright Set are no exception!
The set includes the Blueberry Bounce gentle cleanser, the Pineapple C-Bright Serum, and the all-powerful Watermelon + AHA Glow Sleeping Mask. Used together, they are an unstoppable team of super heroes, ready to rescue your tired skin! PS – Cruelty free and vegan too!
Skin Laundry was founded in 2013 by Yen Reis, who fervently believes that taking care of your skin shouldn’t be a luxury – and we concur. The next time you need a quick skin refresher, why not reach for one of these AMAZING, hydrating sheet masks? This 8-pack will saturate your dry, tired skin and nourish it with a slew of vitamins, amino acids, minerals and natural plant extracts. It’ll leave your wintry skin singing.
OR, for a longer self-care sesh, why not visit the Parker Hotel? Our very own Amanda Lederman had the chance to try out a Laser & Light Facial from Skin Laundry at one of their NYC locations and left feeling and looking fabulous!
Glossier-founder Emily Weiss literally took her beauty blog and turned it into a billion dollar corporation. So yeah, we’re obsessed with her.
We love everything Glossier does, but this serum kit might take the cake. What better way to glow up than with these ultra-hydrating, vitamin-infused serums designed to brighten your skin and quench its never-ending winter thirst. The set includes Super Bounce, a soothing moisturizing serum, and Super Glow, a serum designed to heighten your skin’s natural radiance. We can’t get enough of this dynamic duo!
Founded by #BlogHer18 Creators Summit Speaker Katie Sturino, Megababe is an incredible skincare and deodorant company designed with women’s health in mind. If you’re looking for some super-productive self-care (we see you hustlin’ ladies), why not do something your long-term health will thank you for?
Making the switch to aluminum-free deodorant has never been easier thanks to Megababe’s Happy Pits: Detoxifying Underarm Mask. With the help of Charcoal, Glycolic Acid and Vitamin C, the mask draws out harmful toxins that build up through the repeated use of many commonly used deodorants.
Jen Atkin founded OUAI knowing full and well the plight of being an overstimulated, confused consumer. Her goal with launching OUAI? Cut through the clutter, and give consumers products that are made well, and that actually work.
Your face may be the money maker, but any skincare regime requires giving the rest of your skin some love too!! While OUAI typically specializes in haircare, this body cream is downright delectable. This velvety-soft concotion uses a combination of cupuaçu butter and coconut oil, and smells like warm spices and roses.
Founded by Vicky Tsai (who literally risked everything for her brand – and boy, did it pay off!) Tatcha is now a revered skincare line. What better way to test the waters than with their glow set?
Perfect for normal or combination skin, as well as anyone looking to detoxify and reduce premature signs of aging, help skin water retention, and moisturize this four-set of the their top sellers is a dream. It even includes their Luminous Dewy Skin Mist – aka, the perfect pregame to any holiday party.
When you take the time to take care of yourself, YOU ARE NOT WASTING TIME! You are giving yourself a much-needed time-out, which gives you a refresh to make smarter business decisions, build a stronger network, and create better content. Even mega-bosses need a break – why not support women who also work hard AF while you do it?
