Philosophy founder Christina Carlino was moved by the beauty of nature to start a skincare brand based on honesty, self-care, and well-being. Partnering with dermatological scientists, Philosophy Skin Care was created to offer skincare that was effective, yet simple and multifunctional. It worked: Philosophy’s Purity Made Simple Cleanser is the #1 bestselling cleanser in America, followed by other bestsellers like Amazing Grace Eau De Toilette, and Anti-Wrinkle Miracle Worker Moisturizer. In 2014, the brand started the Hope & Grace Initiative to support women’s mental health and well-being, donating almost $5.7 million in profits to community-based programs for women and families.
