Beauty Clean is a cosmetics company with the mission of enhancing our customers' beauty experience. Makeup brushes and sponges are teeming with acne-causing bacteria and oils and no product currently approaches this problem from a stylish, portable, female-driven design perspective. We're solving this problem by introducing a line of chic UV light sanitizing cases that kill bacteria and reduce acne outbreaks designed by award-winning industrial design firm Box Clever. Beauty Clean is now raising a seed round of capital of $350k to finish prototype development and launch a presale campaign.

Advantages or differentiators
Director and actress Carlson Young and global celebrity makeup artist Lauren Andersen bring a significant, engaged social media following that will activate our digital marketing strategy and bring visibility to the company.

Business model
The Beauty Clean business model connects the cosmetics industry with the tech in an intuitive, relevant, and design-driven way. With our partners - Silsync, Box Clever, and Blue Wheel Media, we have the dream team to successfully fill this gap in the beauty market. By 2025, our gross revenue is projected at 103m. Drunk Elephant, for instance, was acquired by Shisheido in 2019 for 845m with just over 100m in revenue. We would absolutely be aiming to get acquired in the same way.
