ABOUT
Founder: Lisa C. Alexander
Where science and nature join forces, to help you look and feel your best.
LAFACE creates luxury, natural solutions specifically formulated for not only those with sensitive skin but also for those who have undergone chemotherapy. Our beauty products are effective, clean, cruelty-free, peptide and plant stem cell-based and largely for the untapped mature woman/man skincare segment. Our solutions are designed to help with specific skincare needs, not generalized product categories and are made to the highest quality and performance standards via a trusted laboratory with a proven track record.
We are focused on the profound changes in women’s views on the relationship between age and beauty. Women no longer want to fight aging, and after much content analysis we have found what they want is a way to look their best at every age. Refusing to accept their societal designation as “old”, these women are celebrating their beauty throughout their lifetime – and are searching for products that focus specifically on their needs and can reliably deliver results.
The LAFACE Skincare brand, from California, uses state of the art active ingredients which work at the DNA level. These ingredients are then used to create effective products that address unnecessary, unexpected and challenging skin sensitivities. LAFACE products are meticulously formulated to combine the finest natural and organic ingredients, creating active formulations so your skin may reach its fullest, most youthful potential. LAFACE’s extraordinary facial line goes to the forefront of nature’s science to rejuvenate and heal the skin. Ideal for those who have undergone chemotherapy, suffer from psoriasis, eczema, rosacea or have sensitive skin.
Tenets that we live by:
- We believe all products made with the intention to HELP--- especially ones that claim they are substantial, must be strictly formulated in a serious laboratory with NPA/FDA as well as third-party approval.
- We also believe that a brand who has worked to create and formulate their own products is CLEARLY much more invested in their client’s satisfaction.
- We believe fine lines should be softened and hydrated—but they are an important part of our past, present and catapults us into our future.
- We believe great skin care is gender neutral.
- We believe in plant based, all-natural, and cruelty-free is a absolute must for the Greater Good of our world.
- We believe looking your best at your age is much cooler vs. looking younger.
- We believe that cakey makeup should stay where it belongs…IN THE 80’s.
- We believe that vegans and those who love animals deserve skincare that works for them and is aligned with their values.
- We believe you should care about your outsides as much as your insides.
- We believe that beauty, happiness and a healthy lifestyle starts from within.
- If you share these feelings, you've come to the right place.
LAFACE for Cancer Patients:
Dry skin results from many factors, but for cancer patients, treatment is most often the cause of dry skin. This is because, typically, your skin cells constantly renew by dividing rapidly into the deep layers and sloughing off the old cells at the surface. But, if you are undergoing treatment, chemotherapy, and radiation can disrupt this process resulting in dry skin and other skin reactions. Cancers that involve the skin or have spread to the skin, such as malignant melanoma, leukemia, and lymphoma, commonly cause itching. Cancer treatments affect one's natural PH balance, as the amount of oil produced by the oil glands diminishes considerably, making your skin feel extra dry and irritated. Patients are told to choose a skincare line with products formulated for sensitive skin, as well as fragrance-free and alcohol-free. Products rich in antioxidants and natural trace minerals are ideal. Many aftercare products are pharmaceutical, or chemical based, which can exacerbate the issue. LAFACE products are not. This line of LAFACE products improve hydration, moisture, and the elasticity of the skin. The products help to diminish signs of wrinkles, dark spots, and cellular damage. Cancer patients who undergo treatment can use these products to safely restore the health of their skin to its youthful state.
About the Founder:
A California farmers daughter realizing her dream is how LAFACE started out. An expert in green design, organic products, and sustainability-focused business practices, with a passion for day-to-day green living, entrepreneur Lisa Alexander founded LAFACE as an effective alternative to chemical-ridden products—especially for those struggling with particular skin conditions that are often alienated from mass produced, or "easy to get" skincare lines. Her experience in modeling when she modeled for Givenchy and Valentino in Europe and New York made her realize the importance of Clean Beauty and the importance of quality skincare. When she is not advancing the evolution of skincare, Lisa spends her time soaking in other cultures. Her favorite travel memories are climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania—the tallest freestanding mountain in the world, and her years living abroad, between Great Britain, Switzerland, and India. As an avid travelor, Lisa continues to circle the globe looking for inspiration for her brand and solutions for her clients.
A life-long entrepreneur, Lisa founded several businesses before launching LAFACE. A few fashion lines, furniture design, and the pickle company, Mo Betta Pickles which was sold to Williams Sonoma. Lisa is actively involved in her community and supports many charities and philanthropic causes. Learn more about the causes dear to her heart below.
Much Love is dedicated to the following goals:
- Rescuing stray animals from animal shelters who have not been adopted and are scheduled to be euthanized. Much Love takes the animals who have been in the shelters the longest and will die unless rescued.
- Providing medical care to neglected, abused and injured animals.
- Rehabilitating hard-to-adopt animals and finding them loving homes.
- Promoting the importance of spaying and neutering pets in order to drastically reduce the number of unwanted animals on the street.
- Educating children and adults alike on responsible pet guardianship.
- Ultimately, securing a no-kill facility where rescued pets can be safely sheltered without the threat of euthanization until we find adoptive parents for them.
