New York, USA · Founded by Jamie Kern Lima

Prestige skincare-makeup hybrid built around a CC+ Cream formulated with plastic-surgeon-developed actives — the largest-ever female-founded beauty acquisition by L'Oréal.

Why it matters

Founded 2008 by Jamie Kern Lima after her on-camera struggles with rosacea; built CC+ Cream with plastic surgeons. Acquired by L'Oréal in 2016 for $1.2B — at the time, the largest acquisition of a female-founded beauty brand in history. Kern Lima became the first female CEO in L'Oréal's 100+ year history.
