These beauty and skincare products are ‘Fast Company’ tested, and approved

Lauren Steele, one of the commerce writers for the Recommender column, includes Volition’s Celery Green Cream in a roundup of the best beauty and skincare products according to the women of their editorial team. The piece praises Celery's ability to make skin feel super soft and flake-free, and links back to Volition's site. See the full quote below: Volition Beauty is a cruelty-free and certified clean (that means no parabens, no sulfates, no scary stuff) skincare brand that makes products suggested by and voted on by customers. This moisturizing cream full of hyaluronic acid and celery seed extract was a collaboration with former Olympic gymnast Nastia Liukin and is a favorite of commerce writer Lauren Steele. “It keeps my skin ridiculously soft and free of those weird dry patches and flakes that sometimes make an appearance,” Steele says. “That’s an impressive feat to pull off in the dry and high mountain weather of Salt Lake City, where I’m based.” The article mentions that the editorial team looks for “products that are long-lasting and high-quality, and that offer simple solutions that we can depend on while writing, editing, photographing, designing, and producing our stories.”

2019 Beauty Innovator Awards winners

There are four sections: makeup, skin, body and hair. Out of 21 skincare products, Volition's ACV Resurfacing Peel Pads are listed sixth along with Dr. Jart+ and ZitSticka in the best acne product category. It’s awesome to win alongside these well-known, buzzy and loved brands! A short blurb accompanies the product image, which links back to Sephora: Save the Bragg’s for your salad dressing and slip on one of these clarifying pads for brighter, clearer skin sans irritation.

Get to Know the Female Entrepreneurs Who Are Reshaping the Business World

The list comprises 49 female founders, entrepreneurs and leaders who are blazing new trails in the world of business. Volition is among amazing company including, but not limited to, Audrey Gelman, CEO of The Wing; Payal Kadakia, founder of ClassPass; and Alli Webb, founder of Drybar. The full quote is as follows: When skin-care operations VP Brandy Hoffman (left) and VC Patricia Santos (right) first met, the self-described “plus-size lesbian” and “Filipino immigrant” (respectively) bonded over dim sum and dreams of disrupting the beauty industry. Neither could believe the high product-failure rates, stifled innovation, and lack (still!) of inclusivity. So in 2016, they founded Volition, a crowdsourcing platform that invites everyone to submit an idea for a beauty product. The company then works with a network of labs and chemists to see if a concept proves feasible; if it does and gets unanimous support from the community, Volition produces it. So far, they’ve gotten 4,000 idea submissions and brought 26 products to market that sell on Volition’s website and in Sephora, with 270 more in the pipeline. Most rewarding, they say, is discovering all these new women entrepreneurs, who can get a cut of their product’s revenue.

What's your great beauty idea?

Courtney Rubin opens the article by telling the story of Deanna Pai and Mission Brows. This leads into quotes from Patricia Santos, sharing how Volition does not ignore ideas just because they’re not “million-dollar products.” The story then hits a number of key messages for Volition: including the growth of the community, the expert chemists devoted to taking these ideas from real people and creating safe and effective products, and how Volition is dedicated to embracing diversity and inclusion. The piece discusses a number of innovator stories and hero products, including Strawberry-C Serum and Celery Green Cream, shining a light on several all-star products. A few of our favorite quotes include: “If there is an audience for it, we will make it,” said Patricia Santos, a founder. This, Ms. Santos said, is contrary to her years of experience in the beauty industry, “where a lot of innovative products don’t get made because they’re not million-dollar products. The audience for brows is small, but the people who need it really need it.” But Volition, based in California, is the first to allow “innovators,” as the company calls them, to drive the idea development — and profit from it. “When people are talking about inclusion, they’re only talking about foundation shades,” Volition's founder said. “It’s 2019. That should be the bare minimum.”
