Building a beauty brand today is no easy task!
While major beauty groups rely on their teams, data, and processes...
Independent brands often move forward on their own.
For most founders, the day-to-day reality looks like this:
A very competitive market.
Acquisition costs skyrocketing.
Distributors demanding ever-higher margins.
A distribution strategy that’s more opportunistic than structured
No budget to hire — so you rely on freelancers. Expensive, and doing their best.
And always that constant feeling of moving forward alone — in urgency, despite all your energy and passion.
BEAUTY RISE was created to bridge the gap between independent brands and global beauty groups — giving founders access to the methods, expertise, and networks they need to structure, strengthen, and accelerate their growth sustainably.
Because the real engine of a brand isn’t energy — it’s clarity.
Our offer
BEAUTY RISE is a 12-week program designed to equip beauty and wellness founders with the methods, tools, expert guidance, and network they need to strengthen their foundations, refine their strategy, and gain the clarity to approach their next stage of growth with confidence.
Created by beauty industry experts, it combines the rigor of consulting, the depth of coaching, and the real-world insights of leaders from Estée Lauder, Shiseido, YSL, Clarins, Mugler, and Douglas — with an additional 15 years of experience supporting start-ups and independent brands.
A results-driven, fully online format — for efficiency and flexibility — 2 to 4 hours per week — designed to maximize impact without slowing down your business. Each 12-week journey combines collective learning and individual coaching, bringing together up to 10 non-competing brands per cohort for a focused and collaborative experience.
Our 3 pillars:
The program is built around three pillars that turn insight into execution:
-
A clear method — drawn from the proven structures of leading beauty groups, adapted to the agility and realities of indie brands.
-
A human approach — based on mentorship, group sessions, and personalized guidance.
-
Practical tools — ready-to-use templates, dashboards, and playbooks to move fast from insight to action.
Accessible by design, not by compromise.
Each cohort brings together up to 10 non-competing brands, combining collective and individual learning:
→ 2-hour cohort sessions led by industry experts — to learn, share, and grow together.
→ 1:1 coaching sessions for strategic or confidential topics, ensuring personalized guidance.
→ Dedicated office hours & ongoing Q&A — to overcome roadblocks quickly and stay on track.
→ Practical frameworks, exercises & templates — from pricing grids and KPI dashboards to GTM roadmaps and growth planners.
→ Tailored tool library & peer learning — to apply proven methods to your brand’s unique challenges.
Because at this stage, every penny counts — and every decision should drive results.

Strategic blindness.
90% of independent beauty brands disappear within three years — not for lack of talent or product, but for lack of strategic clarity and structure.
Inefficiency.
Up to half of their budget vanishes in avoidable mistakes, isolated initiatives, and untested ideas.
A lot of energy, for little return.
Missed opportunities.
Every month without clear direction means lost visibility, market share slipping away, and fading momentum.
And that time… never comes back.
The same mistakes, again & again.
In Europe, nearly 700 new brands launch every year. Founders who progress alone miss out on the experience and collective intelligence of those who’ve already walked the path.

Who we are
We are two beauty experts driven by one conviction: indie brands are reshaping modern beauty.
Bold and agile, they often move forward without the structure, tools, and reflexes that larger groups rely on.
After years working within multinationals and supporting numerous startups and scaleups, we realized there was still a missing bridge between these two worlds — a framework, a method, and a transfer of experience to help brands grow without losing their soul.
That’s why we created BEAUTY RISE — the Growth Partner for Indie Beauty and Wellness Brands.
Industry expertise
50+ years of combined experience in selective beauty
With careers at Estée Lauder, Shiseido, Yves Saint Laurent, Clarins, Mugler, and Douglas, we bring an insider understanding of what makes a brand both desirable and profitable.
Exclusive Network
Direct access to the right people.
A carefully curated ecosystem of investors, buyers, distributors, brands, and partners — opening the doors that accelerate your growth
Business & Human Approach
Consulting meets coaching.
For 15 years, we’ve been supporting and mentoring beauty start-ups and scale-ups in France and abroad. We combine strategic structure with founder-centered mentorship — guiding each brand with equal parts data and empathy, to build models designed to last.
Proprietary Tools
From insight to action — fast.
Custom templates, frameworks, and playbooks, plus AI-powered performance tools built specifically for indie founders — to start creating value from day one.
