Hey everyone, we’re Tony and Faye, a husband-wife duo at Doppeltree, an all-natural self-care product company in SF that helps people take a moment out of their day to look and feel better. A little over 6 months ago we started making enough profits that Tony decided to leave his full-time marketing exec position at a fintech startup to focus on the business.

We started earning revenue in December 2017 (the month we launched), but it wasn’t until July 2018 (two months after we launched our eye masks) before we started consistently selling $1,000+ per week. We became cash flow positive (total net income > total costs) around October 2018. We currently average around $40,000 in revenue per month, with 40-50% net profit, depending on how much we spend on paid ads.

My name is Kellie Yavalar and I started the beauty brand, keauty, which means “to create beauty.” Through our skincare line, we aim to deliver a fun, interactive beauty experience to your home.

Hello! My name is Bonnie Giangrande and I am the creator and founder of The Laughing Tree Organics. A line of healthy, plant-based skincare products that are good for our health and our planet.

I began The Laughing Tree Organics because the more I read about the dangers of chemicals that go into our personal and beauty care products, the more I knew something had to be done! I was simply horrified to learn that some of the most common chemicals found in our shampoos and skincare products today, such as Cocomide DEA, Lauamide DEA, Sodium Lauryl/Laureth Sulfate (SLS/SLES) and Parabens, which create that rich foamy lather, are absorbed through the skin where they have been found to form cancer-causing nitrates and impair the normal function of the brain and nervous system.

My name is Kayla and I am the founder of Tribe Skincare. After working in the beauty industry for 5+ years, I found a gigantic hole in the market for skincare for sensitive skin.

As a skincare range for sensitive skin, it is formulated around key anti-inflammatory ingredients like Aloe Vera, Zinc and Kaolin Clay, and works to rebuild the skin’s natural barrier to reduce redness, breakouts, and eczema. While we had a very niche target market, sensitive skin turned out to be a very common pain-point for consumers. The demand has grown so quickly and with a return customer rate of 75% (more than double the industry average) we have scaled into a multi-million dollar company in just 2 years! 95% of our sales in within Australia and we recently opened shipping to NZ and the USA which currently makes up the extra 5% of our sales.

With our proprietary hand-mixed formulas, we started seeing fantastic results for ourselves so we HAD to share with friends. After collecting an overwhelming amount of positive feedback we knew that we had effectively created a brand that caters to people in all spectrums, from the skincare novice to the beauty guru. Today L. Eugene Natural Skin Science is a premier choice for effective natural skincare products, made with ingredients you can pronounce!
