Cicéron is the vision of Jeanne Tieu-Benichou, Doctor of Pharmacy, who discovered that skin vitality depends as much on its extracellular matrix as on its cells.

In conversation with Future of Skincare, Jeanne shares the origins of Cicéron and her perspective on the future of well-aging.

What happens when a beauty editor becomes a beauty founder? Neada Deters founded LESSE after years in beauty publishing, where she learned to separate substance from hype. LESSE reflects her disciplined approach: starting with just one essential product and expanding thoughtfully. By controlling sourcing and maintaining strict standards, she created something genuine in an industry full of excess.

Drawing from her experience interviewing experts and testing countless products, Deters transformed this knowledge into a focused brand philosophy. The result is a carefully edited collection that values quality over quantity.

Before co-founding the boundary-pushing skincare brand MANTLE, Josefin Landgård developed resilience on Nordic slopes and precision in the fast-paced world of healthtech. Her journey from elite skier to KRY's founding team and now to leading one of Scandinavia's most thoughtful beauty brands embodies powerful contrasts: speed versus stillness, science versus sensuality, and data versus intuition.

Irene Forte’s path into skincare was less about chasing an industry trend than listening to the land. While working within her family’s Rocco Forte Hotels, she saw how guests were drawn to the slower rhythms of Sicily, where food, wellness, and beauty were inseparable. At Verdura Resort’s organic farm, she began to imagine how olives, almonds, hibiscus, and herbs could be translated into something lasting for the skin.

Fungi exist mostly out of sight, sustaining life through vast underground networks of balance and exchange. For Pernille Brostrup, their intelligence became more than a scientific curiosity, it offered a way of thinking about women’s well-being differently. With Mabel, the brand she co-founded with her sister Caroline, that philosophy takes form. Built on mushroom-based blends and mindful programs, Mabel reflects a belief that women’s mental health deserves tools that are clear, credible, and rooted in connection rather than performance.

Since launching FUTURE OF SKINCARE, I’ve been asked a lot of questions, by friends, by brands, by readers who wanted to understand more about the project and about me. Over time, I realized those conversations carried a thread. Taken together, they form a kind of map of what FUTURE OF SKINCARE is and what it has become in the past two years.

For my birthday on September 1, I decided to pause and gather them. To do a self-interview. Bringing them here felt like a way to reflect, to share, and to give a more personal glimpse into why I built this space.

What does it mean to create hospitality that truly restores? For Irène Olczak, the answer is ŌLCZAK, a new venture that acts as a seal of trust in an overcrowded wellness market. Drawing on her journey through media, art, and holistic practice, she has created a model that works with hotels, private clubs, and cultural institutions to deliver more than treatments. Through one-day immersive “capsules,” seasonal retreats, and curated practitioner networks, ŌLCZAK adapts care to the architecture, history, and community of each place.

What happens when a beauty insider decides the industry needs less, not more? After years shaping the image of global brands, Roxana Bazgoneh founded Onélogy to strip skincare back to its essentials. Her patented freeze-dried serum tablets preserve potency, reduce waste, and transform application into a moment of intention. In our full interview, she reflects on the frustrations that led to Onélogy, the influence of her multicultural background, and why she believes clarity—not excess—is the future of beauty.

After 16 years mastering luxury beauty at L'Oréal and Typology, Nassim Hamek saw hybrid makeup's biggest lie: brands forcing you to choose between skincare benefits and real performance. CÉNÉE Paris proves that compromise isn't necessary, delivering lipsticks with genuine hyaluronic acid that actually stay put, and mascaras hitting 98% natural ingredients while giving you the drama you came for.

Over the last decade, Melinda Bognar has woven Budapest’s communal bathing traditions, London’s clinical rigor, and Paris’s sensory elegance into a singular vision for skincare. Her Manual Deep Lift Facial® begins with breath and belly work to unlock held tension before deep fascia release and lymphatic sculpting, each gesture informed by her intuitive listening. Melinda’s sessions foster emotional release and parasympathetic reset, transcending mere surface lift. Partnering with Janine Knizia at Muse & Heroine Healing House, she integrates visionary formulations while remaining true to her hands-led practice.

From Napa’s vineyards to skincare’s vanguard, April Gargiulo brings a rare kind of intentionality to the beauty world.

Valérie Grandury left a career in advertising to pursue something far more personal after a life-altering health crisis. With Odacité, she redefined what it means to formulate with both intention and integrity, bridging the gap between clean ingredients and clinical results. In this conversation, she shares the story behind the brand, her philosophy of Biocompatible Performance®, and how technology is reshaping sustainability in skincare.

Gina Lucania began her career behind the Prescriptives counter and went on to lead global strategies at Hourglass, Erno Laszlo, and now goop. Her philosophy is rooted in empathy and endurance, building brands that grow with meaning—not just momentum. In this conversation, she reflects on the business of care, the value of listening, and how beauty can evolve without losing its integrity.

Today, as Future of Skincare marks its second anniversary, it feels natural to return to this conversation. Adrien’s perspective remains singular in the haircare world, considered, precise, quietly authoritative. And the timing feels right: Hair Lumière, the latest chapter in the Coelho Beauty story, has just launched.

Hair Lumière is composed of three products: an Intense Treatment Shampoo, an Intense Mask, and a daily leave-in styling care, the Multi- Moody Fluid. Together, they form a sensorial ritual designed to restore hair’s glow, hydration, and freedom of movement.

It’s easy to forget, scrolling through the endless reels of contour hacks and glow-up tutorials, that beauty wasn’t always about transformation. For Taylor Frankel, co-founder and Chief Brand Officer of NUDESTIX, the spark came from a moment of quiet rebellion: a desire for less. Back in 2014, as social media fed an insatiable appetite for full-beat looks and elaborate routines, Taylor and her mother, Jenny Frankel, launched Nudestix as a counterpoint, a brand built on the simple idea that makeup should enhance, not mask. It was an ethos born from their own lives: quick mornings, busy days, and a love for real skin.

Over a decade later, Lucibel.le stands at the vanguard of light-based beauty, blending French innovation with scientific credibility. From its signature OVE mask, now a design object in its own right thanks to a collaboration with Olivier Lapidus, to patented technologies like Energy Mapping™ and a landmark partnership with Dior Spa, Lucibel.le hasn’t simply followed the beauty tech boom; it helped architect it. Frédéric Granotier’s vision stretches beyond anti-aging or skin rejuvenation, it’s about reimagining beauty as an intersection of light, longevity, and emotional wellbeing.

There’s something compelling about the way Joanna Ryglewicz approaches skincare. It’s not about chasing perfection, but about unlocking potential. As the founder of Oio Lab, Joanna has carved a space where deep science meets clean formulation, where curiosity drives innovation, and where every product begins with a question worth asking.Her latest launch, the INTERCELLULAR Longevity Facial Serum, stems from a long-standing fascination with cellular health, inspired by thought leaders like David Sinclair and Peter Attia.

Before there was Sitre, there was a feeling, a quiet ache that something essential was missing. When Julie Herskin found herself reaching for intimacy products that felt clinical at best and alienating at worst, she wasn’t just frustrated; she was moved to imagine something better. Together with her friend Cecilie Hjermind Hjelmager, she began to wonder: What would it look like to create products that honor intimacy as a natural, joyful part of being human?
