Who did you create this line of clean and natural products for? Please describe the everyday consumer.
When we launched The Feelist, we felt like the market was missing a clean, vegan, cruelty free, nontoxic skincare brand that looked as chic and luxurious as top shelf brands, while still remaining affordable to everyone. You should not have to sacrifice aesthetics or efficacy for price. Our Total Package Youth Protecting Concentrate serum that just launched is comparable (and even better) to $300 serums, however, our retail price is only $68. The chic minimalist branding has been a hit on social media and has offered a fresh and clean alternative to the millennial pinks and baby blues that dominated the space the past several years. The branding is appealing to all demographics, and both men and women.
What makes you most excited about your line?
The most exciting thing is how much people love the products and how The Feelist is changing people’s skin. I’m really involved in every step of the process - the formulation, what ingredients I don’t want to use, and making sure the end result is super clean. So, when I hear from people that they never thought their skin could look this good, or that they look forward to using our products to relax after a long day, it truly makes all the hard work worth it.
What was your process like working with CBD?
When we first started working on this project nearly 4 years ago, we thought CBD would be in a very different place by now. But it’s been and still is a legal and regulatory rollercoaster.
The Feelist is above all a beautiful conscious plant powered line of skincare and bodycare products. We believe in the power of mother nature and botanicals. CBD was one of the first superpowered botanicals we started working with because I personally loved it and believed in it so much, but it was never the end goal to just sell CBD products. CBD is an incredible ingredient in skincare - it’s anti-inflammatory and it helps a wide range of skin conditions, but people use CBD as a buzzword to sell products. For us CBD is an ingredient and not a marketing tool, in the same way that having clean vegan and cruelty free products is not a buzz word or a marketing tool.
