‘When Scarlett shared her vision for a reliable, everyday skin system that was clean, elevated, and as effortless as slipping on your favorite white tee, I was hooked,’ she recalled.

She immediately got to work on bringing the brand to life amid the coronavirus pandemic without sacrificing ‘heart and intention.’
