12 Online Beauty Products Success Stories [2023]

Hey everyone, we’re Tony and Faye, a husband-wife duo at Doppeltree, an all-natural self-care product company in SF that helps people take a moment out of their day to look and feel better. A little over 6 months ago we started making enough profits that Tony decided to leave his full-time marketing exec position at a fintech startup to focus on the business.

We started earning revenue in December 2017 (the month we launched), but it wasn’t until July 2018 (two months after we launched our eye masks) before we started consistently selling $1,000+ per week. We became cash flow positive (total net income > total costs) around October 2018. We currently average around $40,000 in revenue per month, with 40-50% net profit, depending on how much we spend on paid ads.

My name is Kellie Yavalar and I started the beauty brand, keauty, which means “to create beauty.” Through our skincare line, we aim to deliver a fun, interactive beauty experience to your home.

The fresh antioxidants from the hot brew, activate our specialized powder mix, and create a warm, fresh clay mask.

Despite incorporating keauty in late 2018, I just launched the business this fall. I spent over two years working on product development to get very natural raw materials from the earth, into mass production. It's been a long journey with lots of life changes and working a full-time job but I am so proud and excited to share the collection, bringing self-care into people’s homes.

When Katia Beauchamp and Hayley Barna launched Birchbox from business school in 2010, they set out to disrupt the beauty industry by delivering monthly samples in a box. Even though people told them the idea would never work, Birchbox attracted hundreds of thousands of subscribers and enthusiastic buzz as a subscription pioneer. But the speedy success was overwhelming for Katia; over the years the company endured plenty of growing pains as it found its distinctive voice in the beauty industry.
