Cloud Skincare began in a Pasadena, CA kitchen in January of 2019 and by the end of that first year, its flagship product had placements in Saks, Dillard’s Free People, and Urban Outfitters.

We created the full brand: logo, colors, and packaging and hired an experienced sales team that believed in the product and worked on commission, garnering press in The Zoe Report, Beauty Independent and other outlets, while building partnerships with Schutz shoes, W Hotels, and other venues/brands.
