Why should you care?
Skincare, responsibly.
More can be a challenge.
Have you ever felt so confused by the choices right in front of you, that you chose nothing instead? Or felt that no matter which trend you buy hot off the press, it's once again, not enough? And finally the best one yet - have you ever felt like you wanted to look like someone else?..
You are not alone.
I started Route One around the mission of self acceptance - a vision of altruism where it really was a community of meaningful, authentic support. A foundation where people come back to in hopes of establishing or re-establishing a baseline. Without this - in products, in relationships, in life - where do we build from?
You're probably thinking, "Is she even talking about skincare?"
It depends...
Route One, as a product, is skincare. But we are not just here to design something "simple that actually works"... That's the entry point to something bigger than the brand can ever be. Remember when I mentioned we're on a mission to self acceptance? It's more about that.
We are here to pay it forward, to be your hype manager, to go on your journey with you, and support where we can. YOU are always good enough for us.
Perfect is not Route One. We cannot defy time and make you ageless. We support consistency. We support you where you are.
Thank you to the women before me
Clarity in Purpose
I am building Route One with my daughter and 16-year-old self in mind. I want her to grow up knowing that the products she uses are there to encourage her, not define her.
My hope for Route One is that it helps reframe the way people think about skincare. Less excess, more intention. If using our products help someone feel less overwhelmed and more confident in their routine, that is meaningful impact. Beyond that, I want people to feel included, represented, and welcome.
